Jts2581 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 That’s more of what i was expecting. That’s in the cold also. I’m at about 10.5gr with the same lot # you have. When I get more, I guess I’ll have to do load development again (which kinda blows) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually considered trying the SW Auto Pistol since they compare that to HS-6. That would really be starting over though and I'm not sure I feel like doing that.

And the gun handled very similar to the way it does now with the major pistol. I may try the auto pistol also just to see what it’s like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprig Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I tried some of this and it seems so fine it's leaking out of the dillon powder slide. It also seems to drip out of the funnel on the upstroke . Has anyone had this issue on dillons ? Been loading autocomp for the last 2 years and never had this type of leakage , nor with any other powders I've tried . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to have this problem with nobel sport sp2 (which is very fine grained) I used an Arredondo powder bar. Might be worth a shot. Seems they still make them.https://www.arredondoaccessories.com/product/powder-drop-slide/ Edited January 21, 2020 by caspian guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF you like SWMP I suggest you may wont to try Accurate #7 they are the same powder formula one made in Europe the other USA . #7 current grind is a little more coarse and less susceptible to static cling.

TANFARM Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Update on my unburied powder on Open pistol. I have had multiple , very informative, discussions with the folks that make Major pistol. I explained the unburied residue on my pistol.. He suggested my barrel was actually cut for a longer length load than I was making. He suggested increasing my COL from 1.165 to 1.175 to seat the round better. Chronoed some of the longer rounds yesterday and the residue on the gun is definitely reduced and made 172 PF....so I’m happy. Thanks to Shooters World for taking such a serious interest in my problem!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jts2581 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Dang it, I’m already @1.175. What’s you load data? Are you up in the 10’s? I’m thinking about using a magnum primer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer-x Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Magnum or SR primers significantly reduce extreme spread/SD with AA7 yielding a more complete burn. Gun is much cleaner after 500 rounds as well, without the un-burned powder in the gun. I expect the same results with SWMP. Work up your loads as usual of course whenever you change a component. Magnum / SR primers may add 1-3 PF to your existing load (assuming 1.165-1.185 OAL with 115,124 bullets, etc..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I’m hoping the lower temperature is not a huge factor. Pistol was definitely cleaner........Damn. It’s always something. Im staying with his combination!!!!...my shooting partner has done rather extensive testing with various primers and he is sticking with magnum pistol....

Jts2581 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 It should be slower in the colder weather. That’s what ive heard. I’m not sure what’s up, but this lot of powder is way slower than others. That’s the load I’ve heard most are using. 9.7-9.8 @1.170. I’m @10.5 and I’m barely @170.

hurley326 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Is anyone else running this powder on a Mark 7 Evolution/Revolution? I think because it’s such a fine grain powder it’s causing inconsistent powder drops for me. I’m getting some at 10.1 grains and others at 8 grains.

hurley326 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Gotcha. It’s either the Evolution powder drop or something else I have to figure out. Purchased the Evo in November from MK7 so think it’s a recent model.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Buddy of mine had to have Dillon send him another powder bar for his powder measure. Says it is a tighter fitting bar and is black in color. Dillon doesn't have it as a readily available item in the catalog. He had to call them to ask about it. I run my stuff on a Hornady powder drop and get no leakage. Different type of powder drop entirely though. It does leak on the Lee rotor powder drops.

zzt Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I long ago gave up on the Dillon powder measure. The Hornady is much more precise and consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loaned one of my extras Hornady measures to my buddy and he couldn't get it on his 1050 with all the other stuff from the bullet feeder and such. He says the upgraded Dillon bar has solved the problem. I agree with you ZZT. The Hornady measure is the superior system. I have 3 of them and they are all flawless.

And you run the Hornady powder measure on a Dillon 1050? What all is involved to do this? I wouldn't have thought a Hornady powder measure assembly would just bolt on to a Dillon press?

I wouldn't have thought a Hornady powder measure assembly would just bolt on to a Dillon press? It works just fine. I can use it in the 550 and the 650, but not with the bullet feeder. If you wanna use it on the 650/1050 bullet feeder has to come off.https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/topic?share_fid=16618&share_tid=282151&url=https://forums.brianenos.com/index.php?/topic/282151-Hornady-LNL-Powder-Measure-on-a-Dillon-750---works%3F&share_type=t&link_source=appSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSGJohnV Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Has anyone figured out how temperature sensitive this powder is? Is it similar to AA7? I'm chronoing here in KY at 30-40* F and will be shooting the Florida Open next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
