BLTSW,

Some observations and experience.

1) 10 rounds is not a statistically significant sample, although it will give a good approximation.

2) The results you get, even with the same gun...

So far this is where I am. Started with annealed Prvi Partisan 8x50R Lebel brass and fireformed with 16/Unique/cornmeal firmly compressed/wax wad. Cases were shot full length. When shot they come out...

No other comments?

In the Wolfe Publishing cast bullet book published several years ago, sorry, don't recall the title and too lazy to go find it, one of the articles was specifically about imperfections in cast...

RICKLANDES,

There is obviously some variation in your casting method. Just like other alloys and bullet types the metal and mould temperature must be kept within a narrow range to produce bullets...

madsenshooter,

Thank you. I did buy one box of PRVI loaded 7.5x55 and did find it is compatible with the K-31 throat. I didn't realize they were sold as a component, I will have to look for them....

Abunaitoo,

If you have a tubular magazine then you have a Swiss Vetterli, not Italian. Different groove diameter and uses a straight bullet, not heel based. They are both nominal 10.35/10.4 mm,...

Thanks to all of you. The Berger is pretty much all I have been able to find to duplicate the profile of the GP-11 bullet, I was hoping someone knew about something else.

Webfoot, Thanks anyway,...

OK, I will start by committing the blasphemy of asking about jacketed bullets.

With the throat of the K-31 being so much shorter than the 1911 and '89/11 SR variants, what bullet have you found...

This is both a question and a comment about the old Saeco formula.

Years ago I swapped E-mails with a man who said he was a Saeco rep. at one time and he had the formula, which he gave me....

Brad,

"Tin" cans always were Tin plated steel. He is probably hinking of toothpaste and other products that are packed in squeeze tubes, before plastic they were made from virtually pure Tin and...

First post, but I have been loading for 50 years.

What do you hope to accomplish? When the .454 was relatively new I thought I might be able to get a little more out of a .45 Colt Blackhawk by...
