I have not tested that bullet for penetration. Mostly I'm trying to find a load that hits near point of aim and has good velocity on the theory that the lighter bullet will be easier on older...

I've been working on loads for the 38 S&W as well, but I'm taking a different tack. My loads have been using a 126gn SWC in the 800 + fps range. Energy wise this makes the 38 S&W roughly the...

For a while I've been using 3.5 gns of Bullseye for several ctgs. In 9x19 I load it under a 124gn RN sized to .358. In 38 Special I load it under either a 148gn DEWC or a 125 gn SWC, sized .358. In...

I use 3.5 gns of Bullseye under the Lee 95gn Mak bullet lubes with LLA. This shoots well in my CZ82. Actually also use this powder charge for 9x19, 38 Special and 45 ACP as well. With the appropriate...

Hey Buckshot. I have one of those Chomplains in 7x57. I assume it was made for a SA country but no idea who. Does my Remington Rollingblock carbine in 50 Navy Carbine caliber fit in with this...

I also use .358 bullets in my 9x19. Though I suspect that by the time I load them in the case and run them through a crimp die they are no longer uniformly .358.

Not the same bullet I know but my standard plinking load for 9x19 is 3.5gn of Bullseye with the Lyman 124gn RN bullet.

That makes sense Jake. I'm using mixed brass, so I'm sure they are not all the same length to start with. 45 ACP and others I've loaded for decades, just never loaded 9x19 before. So I guess I'm...

I'm using the old Lyman 356242, 121gn bullet. If I seat the bullet out to the same length as a factory FMJ load the front grease groove is exposed. In addition the bullet is more rounded than a FMJ...

I am loading 9x19 and have a question about crimp and headspace. I'm using a taper crimp die but how do I know when i have it right? I adjusted the dies with a factory round in the shell holder, then...

I just went to the DOD auction web site and looked up lots of fired brass. All of the auctions I found stated that the brass must be mutilated in front of witnesses before it could be transported off...

I'm probably contributing to the problem in my own small way. For the first 30 years of my reloading I bought primers 100 at a time. I only loaded 100 at a time and them had a built in excuse to...

I recently posed this same question to Alliant Powder. An additional e-mail from Ben stated that from what he was abple to determine in previous research Bullseye powder has not changed since the...

My current practice load for 9x19 is 3.5 gns of Bullseye and the Lyman 121gn RN bullet. I would think that should work well for the Lee bullet. If it works to your satisfaction in your 9mm I'd try...

This doesn't exactly answer your question but my current practice load is the old 3.5gn Bulleseye under the Lyman 121gn RN bullet. Mild recoil in my light pistol (Kel Tec P11) and shoots to point of...

I would be interested in 38 S&W brass.

Wartime specs were not always that close. I have one US Victory that 3 cylinders with chamber 38 S&W. All will chamber 38 Special of course. Some old ammo catalogs listed 38 S&W as being a practice...

I have three loads that shoot to point of aim out of my 4" 10-6 at 50 feet.

125gn TC, 4.1 gns of W231

148gn DEWC, 3.9 gn Bullseye

158gn SWC, 4.3 gns Unique. Actually this load shoots 1" high...

When I had to rebuild that part of my Mould-Master I scratched my head for days trying to decide what to put there that would be non-conductive and heat resistant.

Ended up going down the the...

I would be interested in one of those molds.

I've pretty much replaced Unique with W231 in 45 ACP, 38 Special, 9x18, 8mm French Ordinance. 32 Long and 32 ACP. Still like Unique for some of the odd stuff I reload for though.

Thanks.

anyone have load data using 90 gn bullets in 32 ACP?

Since your original question asked about cast boolits I have to agre with the 200gn SWC crowd. Though at this time I am using a Lee mold.

Thanks, I found some load data and even some correct projectiles. The catch I'm having is trying to adapt some loading dies. I can cut down 32-20 brass but I'm guessing I need a .330 expanding plug?...
