I have hp38, sr 4756 and was wondering if anyone here has a good conservative recipie and c.o.a.l for these powders ? if not what are some suggestions I have heard longshot/ pistol powder of 4.4 grs and c.o.a.l of 1.120 but never used either of those. Normaly I just do 124 gr with hp38, universal clays or titegroup but 147's are kinda new to me. Now I have loaded 147 truncated ones with 3.5 gr's of universal clays and had good luck but can't find universal clays right now. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks fellas. Also my C.O.L. was going to be 1.250 in a colt commander +/- 10 thousands.

Going to start loading .45 and I use a 0.377 for 9mm but wanted to get some feedback on a .45 ? Thanks folks I see alot of load info here but have not run across that yet. Other than 0.460 and just want to verify that.

Just ordered 2k of these BRY19324 BERRYS 9MM (.356) 124 GR RN-DS (1000) They also have 115 grain and others FYI Just thought I would pass it on to the people who always help me with questions

Thank you sir !! PS mcracco, may have to get me one of those to Thanks to you also for the tip.

Thats what I had thought just the top where it would settle in place and the 650 pushs it up in tightly. It was just odd he told me to run it in till it stops wherew then the primer falls in and out freely

I've seen the effects of a overly swaged primer pocket. Depending on the pressures of your rounds you're using (9 major in the instance I saw) the primer will fall out before or after you fire a round. I just shoot at the range and ocassionaly at the IDPA. If the recipe says 4.4 to 4.8 powder I generally settle in between at 4.6 to be safe on a 124 RN bullet with HP38. Quick update, I swaged a few with it and with only barely getting the die in the hole the primers sit on top of the rim nicely ( sits flay on the inner rim ) and seats well. Now I was at the range today and talking with a guy there and he said " run the die all the way till it bottoms out and its done" well I did that on one brass casing and the primer was loose enough it would fall out. Funny thing is that this guy is real good at shooting and loading but this peice of advice was 100% wrong for my dillon 600. Like I said when I just run the die in enough to spread it at the top the primer hole so it just barely sits in there then the press seats as tight as it can be after swedgeing. Does the above sentence in bold/underlined sound right to the rest of you loaders ?

That makes sense those I found on the range and I thought that they were way overboard. The way I am doing them is like you say very unnoticeable but the primer will just barely sit in the hole level ( upside down of corse just see how far in go's in ) and the 650 push's it in.

I have alot of the WCC brass and going to send a bit of it off for swaging but wanted to play with some of it on my dillon 600. When swaging are you just trying to get the primer to sit in the cup where it slides in or do you want it kinda a bigger radius ? Some that I have that is already swaged ( range pick ups ) has a much bigger radius than what I have done that seems to sit in the cup and slde right in. I am matching brass up so its the same that I am checking VS what I am doing. Just seems to me the smaller the swage the better but I have no idea really. Would be nice if some one could post a pic of a few unswaged and a few swaged beside each other for reference if possible. Also in the dillon 600 kit kit there was 3 dies and I assume its the medium size one we use on 9mm ? Thanks for any and all help from this group. Does the below pic as far as amount of swage look right ? http://s529.photobucket.com/user/choppspics/media/ed4bc419-073b-4480-9c92-e8fa82d86754_zpsdd3f3be4.jpg.html

Wonder what it would cost to swap you shipping wise. Maybe I will check into it next week and see for shits and giggles You must have read over the "across the road" part........... To old to go to all the bother to go to town to ship............... Ok

I'll let you know thanks Thanks Sarge

Thanks Sarge !!

Thanks Doug, I called them and they said there way to busy to take anything on like that. Thanks again for the tip. To late for that now.

Its all Military brass "Wcc" and out of 500 so far alot needed it plus hate wasting primers. probably got some surplus 9mm military brass. Yes sir I did and thought it was processed but It wasn't Yes Sarge, please share that info with me I have deprimed it all and not sure about how long it will take me to swage it

Bought a dillon swager now I have to do 9500 rounds

Ahh your quite right sir my bad. I live in Atlanta,Georgia

pockets swedged for a reasonable price ? Got 9000 and don't want to buy the tool to do it but will if needed. Thanks

winchester ones ? Reason I ask is I am going to thread my mossberg and want to use the same ones. Thanks

Just ordered 3000 9mm FMJ from Precision Delta for 297.00

I just replaced the seating die but bought the crimp die to so if I got a wild hair later I could replace it to. I like the adjustement knob on both whereas no tools needed to fine tune them. I bought mine direct from lee they have the seat die instock but not the others they said. ebay has them at a good price for those interested.

What about IMR 4756 ?

Heck I believe ya just never saw one is all. I am a little more than twice as old as your dies
