    357mag/158gr powder recommendation

    I'm not familiar with Zero bullets, but if you are loading 158 gr XTP I would start with 13.5gr of Accurate #9 for 357 magnum with a SPP. this works very well in my 2.75" Ruger Security Six.

    Lee Pro 6000 unboxing and testing for OAL consistency

    My issue with mixed 9x19 brass is with case wall thickness and neck retention, I can load 9x19 with True Blue and have a ES of 9 fps loading the same head stamp. That ES number goes up to 30 fps with mixed brass.

    Lee Pro 6000 unboxing and testing for OAL consistency

    I've never had good results with that approach, I find way to much variation in 9x19 brass to mix them.

    Burn Rate Chart Inconsistencies

    Some maybe too close to call. Then there is lot variance and testing variance. H-110 and W-296 along with W-231 and HP-38 are said to be the same, even by Hodgdon but load data treats these as separate powders:cuss:Were these powders always the same or did something change?

    Used Walnut and Corn Media??

    What came out of the ground will eventually find it's way back there, back from where it came from more or less. What concerns me is the nutrients in our food is becoming more depleted.

    Anyone used the RMR 135gr 9mm Matchwinners?

    I had results with Xtreme 135 gr FP in a XDS 9x19 using Accurate #7 to mimic the 135gr Hornady critical load.

    Making 45acp Cases from Starline 45 Win Mag

    I have trimmed 9x19 mm to load for 9x18 Mak. Not because I'm poor but because I'm cheap, and the brass was in hand. I was short of 44 spl cases so I trimmed down 50 ct of 44 mag. I will say all of this was a pita.

    Light Load of Accurate No. 9?

    Here is my story with Accurate #9. I followed X reloading data for #9 in .357 mag. with 158gr jhp with standard primers the charge was around 12.2gr which gave poor accuracy stuck cases and cratered primers. I then tried Accurate's data for the same jhp bullet weight and primer. 13.6-13.8gr gave...

    44 special

    I have tried 700-x for 44 spl but it did not meter well for me, but it did shoot well. Am I being to fussy about flake powders metering poorly?

    44 special

    My thoughts on the Rossi 720 is that is in the mass equal to a S&W K frame, where as a S&W 696 is a L frame. If I were reloading for a 720 I would stay with in load data for a Charter Arms revolver. JMO

    BE-86

    I've been happy with Be-86 in 9x19, seems like a good replacement for Unique.

    44 special

    For a S&W 696 I mostly load 200-215gr lead, coated and jacketed. For mild target loads I use W-231, for warmer loads I use WSF. I tried Unique but didn't care for it.

    24" Barrel in 44 Mag Lever Action?

    I would prefer one in the 18" ish range, I think handiness out ways sight radius here. As for velocity 18"ish is about optimum. Just my 2 cents.

    Barrel tuning question

    I can see how barrel harmonics effect POI, but what is the best way to control and manipulate these vibrations and which is most effective and repeatable? Is it a tuner brake or a chunk of rubber? I don't know but I have a feeling I'm about to find out, I will start with the rubber and go from...
