I ordered 10k with no issues from miwall
At this point, you've got to buy them when you see them.

could you sit at my house all day everyday till they show up ? sig stuff is pretty dumb, no idea why companies do this.. They make up all kinds of BS excuses,,, but its like gun control makes it a PIA for all but the criminals,,, I mean a shipper will leave it with a crack head on the corner.. Not like they ever check ID. or even require the signature to be legible...
Never had issue with PV , Targetsports or MidwayI'm sorry your life is so much more difficult than mine. That must be very painful for you.

I have been loading Unique since I started loading handgun ammunition.
Tonight I loaded ten rounds with 3.9 grains of Sport Pistol and 125 grain S&S casting bullets.
Looking to make around 130 power factor.
I will shoot them over the chronograph after church tomorrow.
Looking for a load with less smoke.
Let us know how it goes.

Use the hammer style puller, but eat your Wheaties and smack it harder

Two months gone by now and my local Sportsman still had that 8#er sitting on the shelf looking sooo lonely so I gave it a new home.
Yeah, I bought an 8 pounder at Sportsman's Warehouse last week in Phoenix.
It's great stuff. I can get about 18,666 rounds out of it. I'm set for a while.

Maybe for 500? 4 cents/primer is way lower than anything I've seen since the bad times started.
This is from Target Sports USA, right now.

You folks using Clays or Clay dot for 9mm loads pushing a heavy bullet are braver souls than I.
Meh, I've only loaded 8 or 10 pounds of Clays behind a 160gr bullet in .38 Short Colt.
So far so good.

Alliant clay dot is the same as clays. I started using it about the time the Australian plant ceased production.
That's my understanding. I can't find either
There's a place in Phoenix that had Sport Pistol powder on sale a few months ago. I bought some and liked it. When a saw an eight pounder in Sportsmans Warehouse, I bought that too.
It loads and functions the same as Clays. I now have 11 pounds.
I think it's about 25,000 rounds worth. I'm 65, I'm done buying powder

Brad, My loads are similar to yours except I increased it to 2.9 grains, from 2.8, to give me a little more cushion at matches with a standard chronograph. I do have 147 grain Blue Bullets (0.358”) coming to experiment with to see if there is any advantage to the lighter weight (also want to try Alaskan454’s TiteGroup load with that bullet along with Sport Pistol).
Here's my load for Blue Bullets 147. Slightly, and I mean slightly more "snap", I think

Try it off a bench then report back as then it will tell the difference between a good load to look at and the nut behind the trigger.
Never going to happen. I shoot ICORE and USPSA off hand, and that's what I'm looking for.
Four inch groups off hand at 25 yards is fine for me.

What size bullet and what accuracy at 25 yds off bench? Curious minds want to know.
Blue Bullets 160gr (actually 163gr) sized .358. I never shoot off the bench, but off hand about a 4" group.

I had been shooting my 627, but recently switched to my five inch 929. I had been using Clays powder, but it's been unavailable for a few years now.
I lucked into Sport Pistol powder, and it's virtually the same. I'm using 2.7gr of Sport Pistol behind a 160gr Blue Bullet.
It meters well, burns clean, and is mild shooting. Anybody else use it?

I shoot the 686+ Performance Center 5” that utilizes moon clips and for the past 10 years I have utilized a 125Gr. Plated bullet from Extreme (link below). Good news is they are on sale right now (10% off) with free shipping.
https://www.xtremebullets.com/357-38-125-FP-p/xc38-125fpcan-b0500.htm
$0.08 a bullet is a great price

I've been loading Berry's plated 124 Gr. round nose 9mm bullets for a while now and still ,have 2K in reserve. My shooting buddy loads Blue Bullets 124 gr. 9mm round nose and swears by them. My question is, with the same powder charge will the blue Bullets round clock slower or faster than the Berry's plated bullets?
"Faster" than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive...
Actually if they're the same shape, they'll be pretty close, but the blue will be slightly faster.
Load a few of each and chrono them.

Oh, and Google "plunk test" and watch a video. Then plunk test your first round to make sure it punks.
If it does, and it fits in your mag, and it's close to the OAL listed in your books, Bob's your uncle.

Ok Follow up Question #1
My Powder is VV N320.
And have Berrys 147gr RN
and
Black Bullets 147gr RN
This is the VV website and no info on BBI or Berrys RN or Lead Cast Bullets, same in the Hornady Handbook Of Cartridge Reloading I have. So stumped now Berrys shows accurate or Hodgdon powder links. But I have neither. Only N320 and Titegroup but have read over a couple times here and elsewhere don't use titegroup something with heat or pressure and especially not with Black Bullets. So that's my conundrum now. And don't want to waste the 4000 bullets I have. Well I cant figure out how to post the picture but it's a screenshot from my phone.
Find any load data for N320 for 147 grain bullets, start there. It didn't have to be the exact bullet, just the same weight.
Just start at the minimum load, and work up from there.
You'll be fine.

No dumb questions. For coated and plated I use lead data. Jacketed has it's own data.
Coated and plated usually have a higher velocity than jacketed.
Keep asking questions.

Blue Bullets makes a great 147 and 160 in .358. I and a ton of other people use them in ICORE.

Buy what you can, when you can. Lots of people were keeping only a years supply or so and over the last couple years were hurting and hunting primers. I keep 25k plus on hand and still buy replacement when available.
I'm 65, I just rejoined my shooting range until 2032 (making me 74, I think). I rolled the dice
I hope I have enough powder and primers to last that long (and that I'm still alive).
