Has any one been working up cast loads for this 9MM revolver?
So far the best load I have is a 128gr Lee 356-125-2R bullet over 4.2 grains of Copper Fouling Eraser (pistol).

I would like a 452-200 HP 4cav brass mold w/ all pins and will send you a PM.
I am interested in getting a S&W model 327 R8 and would like to hear from anyone who has shot cast in either the R8 or TRR8 versions. I have read alot of things both good and bad about these guns and...
I finally got to test my initial load of 6.1gr of Power Pistol and found it to run right around 950fps with both the Lee 356-125-2R and 356-124-TC sized to .358 and tumble coated with Harbor Freight...
That's what I had been seeing for jacketed too and my reason for starting at 6.0gr. I can't see any reason why there would be a problem with it in a cast load but found it odd there don't seem to be...
Is Power Pistol unsuitable for cast 125gr bullets in 38spl??
The reason I asked is I can't seem to find any load data for this.

I have heard several pounds were spotted about 90 miles south of me last week and I am checking into it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I regularly see Bullseye, Red Dot, Unique, WSF, 700X and Titegroup.
I am also seeing American Select which I understand is a general purpose shotgun/pistol powder but I don't know much about it. One...
I have not read much about them (CSB Powders) yet but what I have read is all good
I am strongly thinking about getting some myself!!
Is it a ball or flake powder??
I load 40 S&W, .38spl, .357mag, .45acp, .44spl and 9mm.
Looking for something that will work well with 150gr cast...

Is the Commercial #1 a flake or ball powder?
I'm looking for something to use with 150 RN SAECO #910 mold in 9mm.
Anyone know where I might find some 4lb or 8lb jugs (even single lb cans) in stock??
Things are getting better but I am having trouble finding W231.
The S&W Model 69 is a 5 shot .44 L Frame which should shoot really well with specials.
It calls to me and I don't know long I will be able to resist purchasing one to keep my 6" Model 29 company....
I agree whole heartedly!
It is also my experience what works well on one gun may be a total bust in a different gun - each has it's own personality.
My WaltherPPQ is a good example of a "picky" gun...
I just got a Saeco 910 mold whose specs are 147gr RN but it is casting at just under 156gr and would like some load suggestions. Powers on hand are Longshot, Autocomp, Bullseye, Titegroup, Unique,...

Unique is still in production, in fact I got a couple pounds earlier this summer at a local gunshop. The problem is it happens to be one of the oldest, most versaitle and best loved powders out there...

I figure an 8lb jug of AutoComo will take awhile as manufacturers tend to fill 1lb cans first but I'm not in a greatt hurry but on the good side AutoComp has been one of the more available powders...

Both 5.0gr Unique and 4.6gr of Green Dot seated at 1.07" yielded around 975fps for me this weekend.

This worked really well for me!!
Funny thing is when I put the can in position the dripping almost completely stopped.

Has anyone made a shield for the splatering which happens when my bottom pour Lee pot drips?
It is no big deal but is really annoying. I want to keep the tinsel fairy off my clothes.
