unionman Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Loaded some lswc in 185 and 230 LRN 230 ran great. Could not get the 185 to load. I could loan individual with the mag in and slide open and they shot great. But would not load from the magazine Shooting a springer loaded. Any ideas?..

strongbow67 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 possibly too long? the shoulder of the bullet should be barely longer than the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben b. Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) 185 LSWC can be a PITA. H&G #68 style 200 gr LSWC seem easier. Edited January 23, 2012 by ben b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongbow67 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 they run like a clock in my springer loaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Some still make 185 lswc in the h&g68 design. But if it's the one with a short nose, not the 68's, they are very unreliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unionman Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Thanks all. I am going to stick with 230 llrn. No issues and runs good. I am nitbsure what type( h &g or ? ) it was. Picked up at grafs just 100 to try. Agree a pita. Thanks Loaded them to 1.24. But had about .15 before break in lead. So hated to load a bunch shorter.

strongbow67 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Just checked mine they are also at 1.24" I guess some guns just don't like semi-wadcutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregJ Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) When you say they would not load from a magazine, were you getting a 3-pt jam, like this? I would get these on my Kimber if the crimp was more than .472 Now I crimp everything at .4695 - .470 and it eats them all, RNF, SWC, whatever.

want2race Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Also, try 1.250". There is no difference between 200 and 185's at the front end. The 185's have a short base. If your gun will feed 200's, it will feed 185's of the same profile (not counting the bullseye profile with longer bearing surface and stubby nose). Then again if you like 230 then there is no point to switch. I like the lighter bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
