My personal preference would be a 10 mm. The caliber is very flexible. Load it down to mimic the 40 or make it breath fire, it’s your choice. I’m also drawn to the 45 acp, a caliber I like a great...

Thanks for the reply country gent. You have some very interesting and well thought out solutions for such loading. I like the idea of converting to a large primer pocket to differentiate your wax...

Thanks for the reply fa38. Sounds as if limiting the number of low pressure cycles might allow for longer case life. The arms I will be loading for are semiautomatic and the bullets are light. ...

I’m interested in developing some low velocity/pressure loads using pistol powders in 223 & 7.62x39. Something that would be useful as a small game load that wouldn’t require the burden of a second...

A load I've used is 7.4gr Power Pistol, standard primer, mixed cases and 240gr LSWC hardcast crimped in the groove. It gave 799FPS from a Taurus 445Ti with it's ported 2" barrel and about 2"-3"...
