There are only a few hours left, but if anyone reads this before then and recognizes this thing, any info would be appreciated. It looks a lot larger and more involved than...

I seem to recall reading, somewhere, that the blast of propellant gases exiting the barrel, after the bullet, was a large component in 'felt' recoil (EDIT: which is to say that all of the ejecta...

This gives me hope! I don't have a ready source of WSF or Blue Dot, but I do have some HS-6. Is that considered a relatively slow powder for pistol? 3N37 looks similar to WSF. Anyone here used...

happy7,

Your experience sounds very similar to mine. My only worry about sizing down is leading. I'm already getting some now. I was actually consideing the possibility of trying a bigger...

WCK, what hardness are the bullets you are buying?

WCK,

Thanks for the input. I haven't yet found a local supplier of WSF, but I'll keep looking. I presume you're bumping that bullet to get it to .358? If so, what top punch do you use?

Sounds like that has possibilities, although I'm wondering how big the jet of flame that follows the bullet out of the muzzle would be, with a powder that slow. If you catch the target on fire and...

Mike,

I'm definitely interested in any powder recommendation you or anyone else may have. I need to make minor for IPSC, and would be keen to know what powder would allow me to do that with the...

Thanks to everyone for the insights and suggestions. I now have a better idea what may have been happening to my primers.

Mike, thanks again for running some numbers through QL on my behalf. ...

mike,

Thanks for running the numbers. Quickload sounds like a very useful tool. What kind of pressures do you get for OAL of 1.060 and 1.070?

9.3x62AL, thanks for the input. I was lead to believe that W231 and HP-38 were, in fact, the exact same powder.

mike, I measured the bullet's length at 0.590. The length of the cone is 0.290. ...

HORNET,

I did not know that. I think that technique would also provide a degree of insensitivity to case length. Just to be entirely clear, having the bullet in contact with the rifling is not...

mike,

The OAL was 1.050.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback.

Ricochet, that makes perfect sense. So, is it safe to say that it might be impossible to safely achieve the same velocities, with a TC, that can be achieved...

Hello, everyone. First post. I just recently started casting boolits for my 9mm XDm, and this forum is a real find! I'm having some difficulties and am hoping that some of the experienced boolit...
