I've used both CCI small pistol and small rifle and never had a hint of pressure signs.
-
Bullet = .588
COAL = 1.158
-
Yup, 5" barrel.
-
It was comparable to AutoComp for me.

7.2gr + 124 = 162pf in my Glock. It took 7.7gr to make 166pf. 8.2gr was 179pf with no pressure signs.

620 repeatedly failed on me. 272 has held strong.

Are 10 wide open targets shot from a 4x4 box legal because I can take a step left or right and shoot a couple from a different postion? If position changes with one step then this is a legal stage? Because I'm not required to remain motionless while shooting all the targets?

A lighter bullet will usually require higher pressure to make major than a heavy bullet, based on published load data and pressures.
Your OAL for the 147 grain load was really short. Is that because the bullet could not be loaded longer and still fit in your chamber?
If so, maybe you just need a different bullet - which can still be 147 grains. The general rule for keeping pressure low is to load as long as possible. In the case of a Glock 9mm, you would want a bullet loaded to around the 1.169" max OAL that will still fit in the magazine. If your barrel has a short throat, this might be difficult. But you can look for a bullet with a long nose.
A heavier bullet will create more pressure with the same/ similar powder charge.
1.160 is about max in a Glock magazine.

It's been working for me from the day after the upgrade. Firefox/XP.

6.8 gr of winchester auto comp,winchester small rifle primer
oal 1.135,
That seems a bit short does this work better for you then say 1.150
With a kkm barrel unless you work on the chamber 1.140-1.145 is about as long as you can go.
besides any thing above 1.140 starts to get into a issue with feeding well in a 9mm mag.
I load 1.158 -1. 160 in my kkm. Works fine in my barrel and my mags.
wow anything above 1.145 or so i run into ftf issue.
your barrel may be reamed for a longer round.
I don't know why my barrel would have been reamed... I'm pretty sure others here load out to 1.160.

The heavy bullets will hit the target higher than light bullets.

The deal about shooting with one foot out doesn't fly because that is with any part of the body touching the ground outside the shooting area, so as not to gain an advantage. So why would we let you game it in reverse to gain an advantage? Since the person started with something inside the shooting area, don't care which part, they were not outside the shooting area therefore not in compliance with the WSB and I can not start them. I would tell them to get their foot outside box and refer to 8.2.2
If they wanted to argue, I would have them USC, move on to the next shooter, call the RM and he/she would tell them the same thing, or at least they should.
JT
Note: As long as nothing was touching the ground inside the shooting area and their heels were touching Xs, they would be in compliance with the WSB. So if say, the Xs were wide and they wanted to put their feet perpendicular, this would be in compliance with how it's written and would need clarification or stand.
The Xs are inside the shooting area.

Just going to put in two parts for those of us with Lee Auto Disk Dispensers. That dog tag chain that it uses is a truly terrible design, it can loosen causing erratic powder charges and get hung up and snap. Which will cause you to lose the locking ends which will lead to more loosening. IMHO it's dangerous to have on your setup. I really wish lee would let you custom setup your packages with the best of the best parts, I've added about $20 worth from their replacement parts catolog that have made it an excellent press and now I load 9, 40 and 45 with complete confidence.
To get rid of that chain and gain the ability to trust your powder drop, just buy these two parts.
midwayusa product/334897
midwayusa product/543877
When you buy the pro autodisk it actually comes with these pre installed and leaves the chain as the backup part (though you will never need it and it is not shown this way in the picture)

No way I'd ditch the chain for a spring! With the spring - the arm can get stuck and you can continue cycling the press... With the chain - it's either going to pull the arm back down or break if something gets stuck. The mech is pretty much squibproof with the chain. With the spring... not so much.
If you're worried about the chain slipping through the hole, put a small "binder clip" on the arm and chain where it passes through.
I think you have an understanding of how the spring works incorrect. If you see how it's setup (pretty tough to understand from google images) there's no possible way for it to bind up and the user to continue working the press. If it did bind up then the case would not be able to move up during the downstroke causing the press to lockup. At this point something would break if forced, which like I said, when you get an understanding of how it's actually setup (much different than the chain) this would not be possible to occur.
I thought it was just a return spring. If not then I apologize. The chain has never broken and has worked great for me for over a decade.
I scoped it out a bit more and it's just a return spring, so it's obvious that you misunderstood what I was saying. I stand by my first post. No powder measure sticking possible with the chain.
Sorry for the drift.
