I recently had an issue with not tightening my powder measure, filled with titegroup, to the die. When the first round hit the powder funnel it pushed it up and tipped it off the die and consequently dumped a fair amount of powder all over me and my garage floor. I did have a slight irritation...

Cantains1911, pulled this off their website Vel:890 * grn:147 = 130PF all in all I would say you would probably be fine to shoot this in a match but to be 100% sure you would want to chrono it though your chosen competition gun to confirm it performs as expected for you. Hey Jim, I tried to...

You should chromo it yourself out of your gun but I have heard that most sanctioned competitions will shoot all ammo out of a single gun typically a 4in barrel, not yours. Here is a link to some of my data from 147g Freedom munitions Remanufactured out of a 5" STI eagle so your milage may vary...

Well crap... the N350 since that was the only VV powder they had in stock for pistol. No such thing as bad data so Its worth trying. Worst case scenario I will have the data point and powder for hitting Major if I ever decide to do USPSA :). I will keep my eyes open for N320 at the gun show at...

Got a buddy at Cabela's now checking out with N350. They didn't have any of the other VV powders in stock. I see it will be the slowest burning powder that I have in my now rather sizable collection and so I can at least test if slower burn translates into less perceived muzzle flip (as it has...

Load Master, keep in mind that I did this standing from 10yrds unsupported so don't laugh too hard. http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=222897&d=1471192046 Walkalong, Thanks for the info! I have some barry's 124 on the way. I was planning on making my wife a really light...

Hey Chuck, I only chromo to make sure I hit Power factor for competing in IDPA. Normal plinking rounds I am happy to just load min and see how it shoots and save all the hassle. Jim, Thanks for calling my loads very good to excellent! As a newbie I appreciate knowing what is considered to be...

bds and ArchAngelCD, They all shot about the same with a slight advantage to the 4.5g. All shots were standing, hand held, for practical accuracy not really to test "intrinsic accuracy". Once I narrow down the recipe to my favorite 3 I will do some more precise test but for now these Practical...

carbine85, Thats right about where I want them for IDPA as I stated in the post. I am not at the point I am comfortable with reloading my carry/self defense rounds for those I would want the velocities to be higher as well. Thanks

berettaprofessor, I made that comment in response to bobsons' comment about the "stack them high" part. I got your humor. Putting it in italics and parenthesis made it pretty obvious to me :) But some folks aren't familiar with some of those queues and as with any communication of written form...

I am developing a load for IDPA purposes so I should start off by saying that precision/consistancy is not my absolute goal but I would like to know if my variation is considered decent or if I should strive for better controls in my loading process. Feel free to slap me and tell me that good...

Bobson, The lower is the portion that is controlled and requires an FFL/background check to buy. So if things are similar to the 94-04 ban pre-ban parts will still be able to be sold and used by individuals but new lowers will not be able to be sold. Pre-ban lowers can still be bought and sold...

MDI, Thank you for the sound advice. I do have the Lyman 49th and read from cover till about page 82 (all the best practices/safety info) before I touched anything. But I do find the Lyman to be a little lite on the actual load data for 9mm and was also concerned that it was out of a 16.25in...

First off, Thank you for the quick reply and additional information. Want to hear something funny....? It was YOUR post that I used as my guide for this initial load! However, I couldn't find it the second time I went back to confirm my notes which is why I became hesitant. My chrono gets...

Ok I am going to start off by saying I am new to loading handgun ammunition and just got a XL650. I am taking it slow and trying to be cautious but since the powder I ordered is backordered I went down to the local Gander mountain to pick up some primers and powder. I asked for their...
