Thanks for the TG/chrono info Kaldor! The TG load was ANOTHER one I missed on the Hodgdon site... doh. I do like the pressure/speed combo with TG, looking at the Hodgdon data. Corresponds with what you're presenting Kaldor.
Good point on legal. I think the legal point is enough to make saving a few bucks on factory ammo not a good deal. And I think years ago I came to that decision but forgot about it.
I totally missed the HP38 on Hodgdon's paired w XTP 147! Guess I'll load that up and keep for SHTF backup...
Some years back I picked up a couple boxes of XTP 147 JHP in 9mm. Believe I was thinking to use them for SD carry, and by loading them I could practice with carry rounds cost effectively. So with that in mind:
Is it foolish to think I can develop SD rounds without a chrony? indoor range...
OK, so it was my misunderstanding... yes, all the cast lead bullets I've bought have lube in the ring, but I thought it was recommended to coat them in Alox to help prevent leading. So that's not needed at all?
Just getting back to reloading after a long break & getting to using some MBC & Falcon cast lead bullets I ordered in 2013.
I'm trying to find out if these came lubed from vendors? MBC's current FAQs say they are lubed. But it's 10 years from when I bought 'em. Falcon went out of business in...
1. home defense + additional range/accuracy over pistol
2. subdivision 1/2 acres
3. GA
Yup, leaning towards a 9 carbine from these comments, perhaps a Ruger PC. Yeah, not looking to take away from my next vacation to finance a Gucci gun. ;)
The 'what's on hand' concept is well served by my EDC 1911's or compact 9. Or full sized 9 at the nightstand...
Good suggestions re: pistol caliber carbines! It's been so long since I'd read about them I'd totally forgotten that option. And I am SET for components, both 9 & 45, no matter...
I've been handloading for my pistols (9 & 45) for some years, though not much in the last several years. Doing both on a Hornady L&L, though I've got a Lee single stage mothballed on the shelf. At my peak, I'd do about 1K rounds/month of combined calibers. Only rifle I own is a .22 I've had...
And when they look elsewhere, they'll realize that THR Reloading is the straightest-shooting, cleanest-burning, fastest-loading, most accurate load of ..... oops! .... ummm....
YEAH, we good!!!
:D
Like them a lot more now that I load them on a LNL AP instead of the Lee Turret - the LCT doesn't have the leverage of the LNL, and seating Wolfs on it would often leave them high.
Thanks to all who offered advice. Another update; last night I took out a sleeve of Wolf primers. These have always been a PIA to seat fully with the LCT. Ran about 50, and had absolutely no problems getting every single one below flush or just flush. Awesome. And it took almost no more...
None of it's any good now. But I'll do you a favor and take it off your hands. Give it a good burial n' all. :D
Much much longer than 3 years, as long as it's properly stored. (Original jug, tightly sealed, normal temps.) Primers, about forever.
