Re: Shot my first reloads, couple questions

I was kind of hoping you'd check in to slap me around a little bit. Oh Lord and the Saints preserve us, but why is it always the n00b who doesn't RTFM who winds up buying a high end Dillon so they can make reloading mistakes 10 times faster and produce 10 times as much potentially sketchy ammo?? Lym...

Re: Shot my first reloads, couple questions

Based on the link above and using lead data vs jacketed, it looks like 5.4-5.9 is the range. You were using the jacked data(5.2 start), plated bullets are soft and most manufacturers recommend using lead data.

Re: Shot my first reloads, couple questions

The benefits of working up a load is not having a slide in your face and your hands blown apart. You ALWAYS work up a load. Unless you really like the hospital. The gun would be very unlikely to blow due to a slightly hot round. You never know, tight bore, slightly oversized bullets, thicker cases,...

Shot my first reloads, couple questions

I shot 40 of them and all worked better then I could have expected. I loaded 5.3gr of 3N37 under 124gr 9mm RMR plated. Using a HK P30, I put about 10 round...

Re: Looking for powder recomendation

So far I only have the primers, brass, and bullets. I still need the press and literally every other piece of related equipment luckily that...
