    I've been doing almost the same thing. I'm a big fan of CFE Pistol. Burn rate is very similar to Unique. I happened into a large quantity of AutoComp awhile back and have found it to be extremely...

    I should have offered sooner but do you want some samples? PM me which molds as cast or coated, if you care what alloy etc and about how many.

    I'm familiar with that one- I was actually on the GB list and dropped out at the last minute. Seems I shoulda stuck to my guns. I cast up and coated a few good ones and will load up and report back...

    To an extent yes. You still need a conservative HP cavity geometry. Up to about 1400fps a shallow cup point penta will hold together. About 1150-1200fps is the limit for the bigger deeper pins and...

    The closest to a real snubby I have is a 2.5" S&W mod. 19- so "cheating" on the velocity and also u. Similar results to yours though in that barrel length can make a tremendous difference. 359-640...

    I think the 360-640 is a great design and like it enough that I have both 4 cavity HP and a 6 cavity solid. I keep teeter-tottering on the 360-640L. There is a...

    At the risk of hijacking (sorry OP).

    I have the lube groove version of that bullet and agree it's an excellent design. 3rd from left in pic. I've been loading with either 4.5gr of Unique or CFE Pistol.
