40 S&W
I am newer to reloading. I have read a couple of books. I am working on my "recipes" I am using the following equipment:
Press - Forster single stage Coax
Lee Dies + Lee Factory Crimp Die
Powder Measure - RCBS
Scale - RCBS 502 (balanced and checked for accuracy w/check weights)
Primer - RCBS hand prime tool
Primers - Wichester Small Pistol
Brass - Winchester & R P (Remington)
Bullet - Hard Cast Lead 170 gr
Powder - W231
Glock G-35 w/Lone Wolfe 4 port barrel
OAL - 1.1250
Crimp - I don't recall off the top of my head but it is very slight. I don't have my log book with me as I am at work.
Internet recipes call for 4.7-5.2 gr data link. All had some fail to eject and the 4.7 would barely make the targert. Speers calls for 5.8-6.2 gr. These seem a bit warm. All ran well. I have not tried the middle of this yet. I plan on cooking some up this weekend and testing them.
My question:
Why such a HUGE difference in powder amount? Anyone else have the same variables as I? If so, what is your recipe?
