Depending on your elevation and weather the subsonic range can vary a bit. I load my 147s at 1050. It does well in winter and summer time.
Also the powder choice can make a difference. Some powder are loaded than others. I don’t use use fast powder. I use n230 or cfe pistol.
The can will make...
Why not go a gas gun and look into the 6arc? It seems to be a pretty popular round these days and it’ll reach out plenty well. But. Even a bolt gun in 6arc should be easy to do.
I’ve had 44mags and I love them. But you give me a 10mm shooting 220gr hard cast and 15-18rounds of it. You just need to do a YouTube search on bear defense rounds. I’d trust my life to my 10mm
Started gathering stuff for my 6x45 build I’m doing. Got a bunch of bullets in a brass deal I did. Formed up some brass. Now looking for some faster powders.
I did did not look at the lot numbers of powder. I’ve only opened the one can so far I did shoot the 10 and 10.5 grain. The 10 grain gave me about 1375 ft./s and the 10.5 give me 1430 ft./s. but the groups were a lot bigger. They were both probably 2 to 2 1/2 inches at 20 yards so I just settled...
Started loading 9mm. Got 500 done this morning (2am being I’m getting ready for graveyards) working on the other 500 now. 147gr v crowns and cfe pistol
Primed brass to start loading up another 500 each 45acp and 9mm. Went and shot some 10mm loads yesterday with longshot. So here shortly I’m gonna run out and chrony some more. That way I’ll know where I’m at with speed and accuracy and get to loading that 500 rounds(480 left) of 165gr gold dots.
I grabbed a couple pounds of longshot to run these 165gr gold dot pulls I picked up. I did a good bit of looking for data. On forums and from hodgons site. I seen a lot of mention of 9gr getting 1330-1350fps. That’s fine with me.
i loaded 9 and 9.5gr after seeing hodgons data.
I also found a...
500 loaded up. And put the new lol grips on the mc operator. Target through crony at about 10yds. Had to adjust my rear sight. Went from 6.5gr in the left to 7.5gr on right
Yeah. American reloading had the 8lb jugs for 225. I loaded and shot the whole thing over about 7 months. lol. Keep an eye on them. They get a lot of good powder in. I seen clean shot at Natchez I believe. Or powder valley yesterday
Small primer is all I use. 45acp and 10mm. I’ve got my 45acp with 230s running right at 100fps with no issues with the brass. I look at it as more beat in the case head is a good thing. I get them fairly cheap cause most that run progressives hate the face you crush a primer. I hand prime so it...
I’ve not shot any cast yet. I’m gonna order a few soon to play with. I have seen some of the bullets with wide meplats are an issue. I’m in a couple Xten groups on Facebook and there’s a good number of the guys that shoot them solely. I’ve been looking at bullet sand comparing them trying to...
The sig issues are mag related with long col ammo. I reload all my 10mm ammo for my sig. I seat them 1.250” and with a wolf extra powder spring and the +4 base bad I don’t have ftf issues. I don’t have issues with the couple boxes of factory sig vcrown either. 180/200gr. I’ve not seen people...
Cfe pistol does better closer to max loads. I run 6.5gr I think in my 9mm with 124s. Thats the reason I wanted to try it in 45. If I can stick to 1 powder for both that will make it easier. And I can get it local for 38/lb
