Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Keep in mind even if falling somewhat slowly, the brass is still spinning at a pretty good rate.
  2. I only use Berry's bullets. 230gr RN in .45 over 5.3gr of Win231. 124gr RN in 9mm over 4.2gr of Win231. 250gr FP in .45 colt over 8.0gr of Unique 155gr RSFP in .40S&W over 5.3gr of Win231 125gr FP in .38 Special over 4.2gr Win231 I can get 1" groups standing at 7 yards with the 45's, many through the same hole. I normally get the same with the 9mm. 6" groups out of the .38's, but what do you expect from a 2" barrel S&W 642. About 4" groups from the .40's, but I'm not that good with my S&W Sigma.
  3. Also keep in mind if you are using a powder drop and not weighing each charge stay away from max loads. Even the most accurate powder drop can be off a tenth or 2 grains. As for the crimp, some say no crimp into the bullet, just remove the belling. I however think a slight crimp is necessary. Should something happen where the bullet is somehow slick enough in the case mouth to set back, without a crimp you could end up with extreme pressures and destroy your gun and your hand. I use plated bullets as well and crimp til there is a slight ring visible after pulling the bullet. Never had the jacket separate as most people do, likely from a severe crimp.
