Having successfully developed loads for a couple of previous glocks, and a compact S&W, when I got my 5" SW I figured... no problem.
Well, multiple alloys, sizes, oal, crimps (no crimp, fcd etc)...

Curious, aren't ESPC boolits bare based usually? I have heard people say this isn't an issue... maybe better for long term storage?

Thanks everyone. Got some good PMs too. Going to get some more books and start a new work up. Will keep everyone posted as to the results. Needed my brain jogged a bit on next steps. I appreciate the...

There is a throat. I can seat .357 to just covering the grease groove and no problem. .358 have to basically swage their way into the throat unless seated 1.040 (all of the contact portion of boolit...

I have had the same issues with my 1.0 4" and my mp9c. They all slug and chamber essentially the same (good for their QC i guess haha). In my 1.0 and 9c it never really mattered, just shot plated...

oooh, the 9mm cast loading... the finicky beast that it is.
Got my 9mm loads dialed last year for the G34. Perfection.... sold that gun :shock:

I spent last year making glock 9mm work. Now returning back to my M&P line. Got rid of my G34 and got the 5” 2.0.
Been shooting .357 with Smoke PC because that is the biggest that will fit in the...

I got him into reloading last year. I am thinking that maybe I will buy a .40cal mold/lee sizer and cast/pc him some boolits. Hard to say tho... i know how much tinkering I have had to do to get...

Car is in the shop. Always more $$ than you want to spend. Especially when it is piddly stuff that shouldn’t seem so bad. (Trans flush is how much?!?!?). But when the mechanic, an old friend texts...

$800/$40 per 500 payoff at 10,000 rounds if you were loading plated.
If you were shooting factory at $10/50, will be significantly sooner (4k)
I don't have many investments that pay themselves off...

Brought 11 (actually 9) loads of 10 rounds to the only indoor range within an hour that allows CB (2 'test' loads of 5 I figured were a bit hot... no pressure seen tho).

I like this plan. I was just hoping to avoid the unnecessary leading (and save buying 3 different sizers). I appreciate all of the responses

35rem. Thanks. My measurement was groove diameter. The slug was certainly over barrel diameter. I drove through end of barrel and shaved a ring all the way around the slug before it drove completely...
Forum: Cast Boolits
That was the widest diameter. It was AC Range scrap. Is what I had access to. Cast in a spent 45 case.

Slugged my ATI 1911 at .448. Seems odd to be undersized versus oversized. Used calipers with multiple careful measurements. Going to have my machinist Neighbor verify with his better micrometer.

It’s a zev barrel. Consequently my Glock Barrel does not lead. I am just saving it. For. Something I guess. Haha. (Zev was a near gift price so I run it)
