Could go .357 SIG with a 124 and a ton of slow powder to work the comp.

The RMR in-house 124gr JHP is a great bullet, it expands well and is super accurate, but it needs to either be loaded very short compared to most other bullets, or run in a barrel with a super long throat.

I love the quality and consistency of SNS bullets, but I got barrel leading no matter what powder was used.

Very nice looking just how it is. What thumb rest is that?

Dont use them in any hot loads as they are meant for low power cartridges like .25ACP

I like the Hornady dies

Silhouette looks nearly identical as well, but is a very different powder.

I run it as low on the trigger as I can put it and still have it fully supported.

This is what I keep reading, too, but does anyone have any proof of that?

I must have a bottle from that "hot" batch of WAC, because at 7.4gr I was blowing out over 90% of my primers and I was above 180pf with a 124 PD JHP.

I found out too late. I just bought 16lbs of Silhouette last night.

Here is a load I have played with. It shoots good, but definitely soots up the gun.

A lot of guys run 7.6-7.7 under a 124. I am running 8.3 under a 115.

I get the feeling that those aren't sized cases as the level was higher than that for me when I was loading.

3n38 compresses somewhat well, and I had no case bulging. Everything went through a shockbottle hundo without problems. That said, I am still switching to Silhouette. 8.3gr under a 115 shot beautifully. It loads easily, too, being only about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
