I am relatively new to handloading. I have experimented with 45, 44 and 223 and had relative success once I worked up loads that cycled well. I thought I had developed a good recipe for my 45ACP loads, but the last couple times I went shooting I observed unburned Unique on my forearms.
I am using both 200g JHP and 225 RN hard cast projectiles with 5.5 - 6g of Unique and a taper crimp. They are not very hot loads, so I doubt that I am using excessive powder. I have observed this when firing both my Commander and full size Gold Cup.
Should I move to a factory crimp? What else should I be looking at?
Thanks for the input.
