KAL Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 I have a box of super hard cast .40 in 155 grain SWC. I am using Universal Clays for powder for some added safety factor, And I really like this powder in my .45's very clean. I have to shoot lead to be able to use the indoor range to practice. They will not even allow copper coated bullets. I can not find any load data on 155 Swc's so far. Using a STI edge and 2 Sigs a 226 and 229 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahana Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 KAL, You beat me to the punch.............. I had the same question for 155gr RN lead........ with Un. Clays. Maybe we will both get our answer in the same thread. laters, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Rat Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 True Hodgdon only lists loads for Hornady XTP in 155. Max charge is 6.6 but I see no reason why you could'nt use a start charge of 6.0 for the lead........... As always work your loads up slowly.

KAL Posted December 4, 2002 Author Share Posted December 4, 2002 Hey Kahana I guess we are the only ones to what to shoot lead anymore. ( well I have to at least Until I can get outdoor range time. I still have not found data. Even in the Lyman's cast manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahana Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 KAL, Actually up here in Nor. Cal. there is a pretty good amount of lead being shot. Most of team Laser Cast is up here and I get to shoot the local matches with them on a regular basis. Which reminded me I had the answer to my own question in my library..... This leads me to the post..... From the LaserCast manual..... 155gr Lead RNSWC Powder Grains Velocity Max Load Vel. MinOAL Universal 5.1 1066 5.6 1136 1.135 Test Gun: Enterprise 5" WSP Should be a starting point for you........ Take care, gr (Edited by kahana at 12:22 pm on Dec. 4, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAL Posted December 4, 2002 Author Share Posted December 4, 2002 Kahana Thanks, you just might have saved my Sig. I was thinking of starting out at around 5.8 to 6.0 grains. Now with the data you supplied out of the laser cast manual that would have already been above their listed max. See if you can get a contact for Laser cast, I would like to ordered up one of their manuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahana Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 KAL, Shipster beat me to the punch......... Oregon Trail/LaserCast is great to deal with. All my experience has been online(multiple orders), but the service is great. Most the time you get an order confimation the same day, 2 at the most followed by the arrival over your order within a short time. My last order 2 days had passed and I had not gotten a reply from them. I was at the point of wondering what's the problem with my order when I walk out my front door only to be greeted by the Fed/Ex driver with my order........... You can order online, they sell the Manual online also but last I saw if you order 2000 projectiles they will send it to you no charge......... Take care, gr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
