I shoot 160 lead round nose in my 357 sig for IPSC.
I use 5.8 grains of WSF and load to 31.3mm in resized 40 cal cases. Approx 1100fps.

Yes I have a bullet feeder and it runs as fast as I can move my arm. I still hate it.
The star breaks often. The top hole in the link bar between the handle and the sizing punch wears out quickly...

I guess I'll use my star for a while longer. :P
Nice that is available locally though.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Any idea what that costs?
Hand Sizing is the worst.

How long ago was that, Mb or Gb? 32Gb of ram should be enough for almost anything.
You might be better off with a faster hard drive like an SSD if you don't already have one. The old spinning...

Any idea when that pink or blue will be available, or if it will be available to the plebs who aren't commercially casting?

Wow, best colours yet.
When can we buy some?
Forum: Coatings and Alternatives
Awesome. That blue looks great.
Might get some kinky pink for minor loads and blue for major.

Good to see you are on the mend Joe.

He tried to rope me into casting all that lead last year. Id still be doing it if I said yes.

Cant wait to try pink out. All the boys will be jealous.

I use 160 grain round nose bullets in sig and have used 185's. as long as you can fit them in the mag and find a good powder they are fine.
I shoot them in a 2011.

Yeah they are fine. No permits needed on our end.
On our side we pretty much only need permits for magazines, barrels, slides, complete trigger mechanisms and frames.

The old STI apiero's had a chamber like that too.

It's not a good feeding cartridge...
