327 Fed. Mag from a Ruger SP101 4.2 inch
Image of load data (sorry, I tried formatting it as a table in the text editor with no luck).
Here is the primers for said load data:
So obviously I've got some flattened primers (look at A1 and F7!!), but to me, they all look somewhat flattened, even the lower power loads.
Other than the very first round, nothing was difficult to extract, other than a couple occasions where I had some unburned powder from the prior round stuck between the casing and cylinder wall. Nothing unusual looking about the extracted cases.
Do you guys think this is too hot for a small pistol primer? I'm using CCI 500's because I can't find small magnum pistol anywhere.
There are no typos in the load data. Something I'm realizing is this round is a bit finicky with regards to consistency. I think its because the small case volume is more easily affected by any variation.
Lastly, this thing shoots low. Like way low. I am aiming for the top 2 targets in this picture. Those are 5.5 inch circles at approx 15 yards. Rear sights are as high as they will go and I'm feeling like the screw is about to fall out.
