Results of test loads with AA #2

I finally got to shoot my test loads. AA #2 improved seems fine in my guns.

38 sp, L-RN 158, Federal no. 100, OAL 1.430", Ladysmith w/ 2" barrel:

3.6gr - OK
3.7gr - OK
3.8gr - OK
3.9gr - OK

I didn't notice any difference in recoil or noise from one load to the next. Perhaps I would have had I gone from shooting 3.6gr straight to 3.9gr. Or maybe it's just that snubby I was shooting.

9mm Luger, L-RN 125, Federal no. 100, OAL 1.100", Walther P99:

4.1gr - Cycles fine; feels wimpy
4.2gr - Cycles fine; feels wimpy
4.3gr - OK. Felt similar to WWB 115gr
4.4gr - OK. Felt like a "combat load"
