hi everyone,
Question..I took some first reload up to the range and I am seeing some powder burning on the side of the cases (which I normally don't see with factory loads) and I am wondering if I'm either not crimping enough or maybe the charge isn't enough. I attached a picture of some .40 s&w and 9mm Luger. 9mm on the left, .40 on the right
My loads for them is as follows:
9mm
115 FMJ
HP38/win231 4.4gr
(Shot with ruger SR9)
.40 cal
115 flatpoint berrys
HP38/win231 5.2gr
(Shot with glock .23 with wolf barrel)
Are these burns ok? I have read a few places and some people say it is just natural and some say the charge isn't enough for full case expansion in the barrel.
Your thoughts?
Thanks everyone!
