Finally got to test my loads with the hi tech zombie green. It was a success, might have had a trace of lead but I don't think it was lead. I just think the gun was dirty from never cleaned it when I bought it used. 40 cal and shot exceptional. I'm a fan. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ed8cd8192a.jpg

There has been a lot of interest lately for a heavy bullet for 357Sig.
This is my 185gn FP.
Bloody long and has a lot of bullet down in the case.
Used for IPSC STD Div and Classic Div here in OZ.

To me, the cast seems to be too far inside case, and not leave much room for primer and powder.
How does it seal in Barrell?
What sort of speed can be expected for this ammo? How much and type of powder do you use for such a monster???
I would not like to be in front of that piece of Lead when it is flying.....
Colour seems very dark for Kryptonite Green.... is it the lighting??
Ausglock I recon they would be something in my 357 maximum rifle. Regards Stephen
Yep. It is the lighting.
4gns of AP-70 give a 171 power factor out of STI 2011. 31.5mm OAL.
Stephen A bloke in Brissy got some to try in 357Mag for Sillywets.
It amazes me that you can fit 4 grains of 70 in there with that much projectile in the case. I don't shoot .357 sig, so i don't understand why they want such a heavy pill, i'd have thought it would be moving a lot slower so you have more drop at distance. I figure a lighter projectile will give less recoil, so go lighter and not heavier, yet we do have power factor to meet, so you need more powder to get the little ones moving fast enough.
I loved my .38 super open gun running 125 conicals, 8.2 of 100, it would shoot flat out to 200m and knock the steel plates over. Compare that to my .45 with 185 SWC for me to hit anything at 200, i had a good 3m hold over. Sadly i was forced to surrender that gun *wipes away tear*.
My open gun loads were quite compressed, good for consistency i guess, as there was no air gap.
hahaha
Poor tasmania, being eaten.
hahaha...
Tazza. I run 125gn SWC with 8.2gn AP-100 in the TruBor. goes 171 P/F
I never actually ran mine over a chrono before i blew it up, we just do club level, so PF doesn't really come up. I think the last IPSC match i did was river city open in 2007, was an awesome weekend.
I used the exact same load here. Sure wakes the neighbors doing night time steel matches.
Hasn't the Tasmanian map now become Brazilian map???
Coating looks absolutely great.
I load 163 grain FN:s for 9mm, it gets crowded,too.

I got my star sizer running today with my mr bullet feeder. Can size almost 1 bullet per second. Ill lose 20kg sizing what I've got coated over the next few nights. :razz:
I recently got my collator running too. At full speed i can do j just under 3k per hour. I could over drive the motor to go faster but then i have a possibility of projectiles nor dropping fast enough and jamming up on me. I need to get a video of it, all fabricobbled together from bits and pieces
Videos of your efforts or it didn't happen......
I have a Mr. Bullet feeder powered by a 19 volt laptop power supply... give it extra speed.
BTW... have you seen the mr. bullet feeder nose down conversion for sale on ipscstore.com? Bloody expensive.
I'll do my best to set it up in the next few days, it may look ugly, but does the trick.
That is a pretty good idea, i powered mine from a 12v SLA with a speed control from ebay, it mostly keeps up but i do have a bunch of old lappy power packs. I have parts coming to try and run the collator with a stepper motor. The issue i have with the current setup is back lash in the gears and universal joints giving a good 1+cm of lash in the disc on the outer edge giving the occasional jam.
With currency conversion, it is a nasty price just for a nose down plate isn't it? I guess they figure you paid X amount for the feeder, what's a bit more? I get they need to make money from their R & D to get it running right then production. Keep it cheap, more people will be inclined to buy one.
Wow! I got mine off here for $20 I think.
Is your sizer a motor driven contraption Tazza?
