I think I must have lost the original thread. Oh well. LOL

This seemed to work for me as well with Extreme RN seated to 1.135". I'm going to try upping the charge to 4.0 to see what groups can be had. Started at 3.6 grns, but wouldn't cycle reliaby till I got above 3.8

Thanks Dudedog. I have always started at or near the bottom because their intended use- informal IDPA shoot and plinkin on the weekends. I can't wait to get this thing up to par with my ability, haha. So far 4" low at 10 yrds, and a 4"+ spread.

Thanks, FAT fingered that one. I picked up a pound of HP-38 this afternoon. I hope the weather is good enough to try some out. I'm looking to start of at the lower end of the scale and work up from there for my SA Range officer Champion. I have had prety good accuracy in XD 40 with Accurate #5...

Since I have never used HP39, how well does it meter?

I didnt vote as my pick was not listed.BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

For jacketed bullets,my XD shoots the 160grn with better than me accuracy.Now I shoot my cast 175 lrnfp at lowest charge,no real felt recoil.

All three calibers that I load are Lee,not 1 issue.You will find their customer service is one of the best.Give it a try.

My MilPro is my EDC.NEVER failed to feed or fire.

Have you taken it apart and look to see if they have to much clearence?Never had a problem with using AA#5 in mine.Its all I load for my XD40.Do you have the adjustable charge bar?

+1 wobbly,I couldnt said it any better.Nice pic.

I am hoping to get a 1911 and wondering whats the didderence betwen series 70 and series 80.:cool:

XDs have a supported chamber.Shot 10k+ thru my XD40 using 155grn-180grn plated with AA#5.YMMV

I agree with Oldreloader,trying a new powder is the "FUN" part of reloading.

I have used cerasafe from midway,cast into the bore at less than 200 degrees.Wait 5 minutes and lightly tap out.wood dowels tend to splinter and may jamb in the bore.I have used lead before but lead spring-back may lead to inaccurate results.Dont ask me how I know that.
