  1. Oh come on a little fun.

    I did see a 4 gun master fire and hit an IDPA target covered with a T shirt and the bullet was caught in the fabric of the t shirt - he caught a lot of hell for that.

    As far as the post goes - it was either a partially blocked primer hole or a contaminated primer (wet) most likely - I have encountered both over time when reloading - having several in a row is quite unusual makes me wonder if perhaps the wrong powder was loaded - a rifle powder instead of a pistol powder.

  2. I load the BBI bullets in WST in 40 with 180g - no smoke or odor noticed at all.

    I do like Xtreme with TiteGroup.

    Another bullet to try is Acme - tried some in 9mm 147g and found them accurate and no odor with W231.

    Right now price is more my guide than any change in performance.

  3. ZZT summed it up. If I am trying to make power factor with a new plated bullet then I load it to a listed power factor load with jacketed loads and then refine it usually downwards when I get the chance - it will not be off a lot in my experience.
