Squirrel45 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Hi Guys, I am trying a new load and was wondering if you guys think these primers look okay. The load I am using is unpublished so I would not like to share in the forum just in case someone reads this out of context . However in experimenting the cases come out easy and show no signs of pressure in that regard. Thanks Squirrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdrr72 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Yeah, on over pressure / really hot loads, you can see the groove between primer and case "fill in" to the point where the groove kinda disappears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4n2t0 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 What's the load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillywig Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 What's out of the book? Above/below recommended powder charge? Or powder bullet combo for which there is not published data? And why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel45 Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 It is a combo of a 230g bullet w autocomp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Looks good! Clean? Accurate? Running at the velocity you want? Edited December 8, 2020 by Farmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel45 Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 Making 790' with a fairly light charge. I'm pleased with the performance. I'm going to try some 2400 as a comparison and see where that ends up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9x45 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 They look fine. Over pressure will look like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 230 gr bullet at .355" diameter??? Except for the Win Legend at 180 gr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 reading goat entrails and tea leaves would be as accurate. IMO reading primers for "signs" is like reading an old cars idiot light, comes on righttttttttt as the engine locks up. For me I put more faith in actual measured warning signs like increase in spreads in SD, velocity spikes, or velocity plateaus as you increase charge. Although I generally have no use for pushing envelopes. I go to another caliber or powder. Far as your loads, what size bullets are you using ? I am gonna add some of these to my next order to try out. Although I have been pretty pleased with 180 gr flat noses, at 800 fps loaded with fairly fast powder in 357 cases. Have any bulged cases or barrel leading from swaged bullets in the 357 cases ? seen some published data for true blue and AA9, not sure how density of AA9 compares to 2400,,, wonder if you will run out of room with 2400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel45 Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) 357 diameter. Sd of 5 Ex. Spread 8 Avg vel 769 Clean case Easy ejection I have gone hotter up to 800+ but backed down. For safety There is still a good amount of space case left. I know of people using over ten grains of 2400 with no issues. Also blue dot is popular. I'm just trying to use what I have. If I had some 9, that would be the powder of choice. Iv run these 230s w 38 spl.with published data . Nice load Edited December 8, 2020 by Squirrel45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Kinda like my 405 load out of my 45 colt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
