  1. i could be wrong, but i would think unnecessarily undersizing your brass would reduce the life of them. Which doesn't seem to be very long for 38 super cases.

    I shot 38 super in my open gun for several years. I ran all cases thru a U die. No noticeable wear. I re used my brass, and frankly, quit counting the # of times it was reloaded. I know it was way over 15 reloads shooting 175pf. I shot it until it split. You are going to lose it faster than you'll wear it out IMHO.

    I Udie'd for reliability reasons. I wanted every round to feed, every time.......and it did.

    Thats why I use the u die I just always have for everything. especially when I shot limited to get that 40 glock bulge out.Just didnt think they would coke bottle so much in super lol. will find out tomorrow if they run ok

  2. I broke a reverse plug sometime ago and got another from a buddy that was already trimmed and fit my gun. Now I have a new one and need to fit it to my slide. Looking at it seems as though I just need to remove the excess from the front end of the plug so that is does not contact the the comp. Seems to simple lol. So is that it? I was just going to put it on my belt sander and slowly remove material and keep checking the fit?

  3. I went ahead decided one of two things was going to happen. I was going to get the pf i wanted or was going to stop from pressure signs.So I pushed to see what i could get out of it. and I am glad I did. I think you guys are right you have to push this powder. It is cleaner @ 175. and VERY flat out of this gun. I dont think I would have to run it up so much to get what i wanted if I had some holes and better comp.

    Boy I am really happy with this load.

  4. I decided to give the hs-6 115 combo one more try so off to the range i went today with 9.3 grains of hs-6 with a 115 pdelta FMJ RN @ 1.165 with a wolf SRP.

    I got 171 pf with this load. and i will be damned if it did not give me better hits and faster times on my drills. so tomorrow I am dropping 9.5 grains to run it up to about 173 and see if I can get some more out of it.

  5. sweet thats what I was hoping to to hear! this way I can run one powder for both my 38 comp that being built and my 9 major gun! should be pretty flat yes ? I know the 115 hs6 9.2 grain combo in 9 major gun is prety nice!
