AverageJoeShooting Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Ive been loading to 1.230 or there abouts, usually +/- about .003 on either side of that (1.227-1.233) I was wanting to load it a bit longer so the bullet hits the feed ramp already angled to go into the tube, because currently the bullet comes straight in and hits the feed ramp straight on, before the weight of the slide pushes the bullet into the tube. Anyone have any starting ideas on a bit longer of a length to load to? Could i go to 1.250...or push it up to 1.3? This is for 38 sc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGunner Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I’ve always loaded between 1.235-1.240 myself. I’ve had issues with going above 1.245 with not being able to rack out a live round on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdude Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 What specific bullet? Single stack or double stack gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI5-O Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 A limiting factor would be your magazines. I used to load 1.250”-1.260” and sometimes the rounds would get hung up in the magazine. I load my rounds 1.225”-1.235”. 121 grain Zero JHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
