last moth I went to my local gun store lookin for magnum rifle powder and he had sold the last rl25 (all he had besides 410) the day before for 12 a pound , said he was liquidating , well he had 3 pounds of 410 and he made me the same deal so for 36 total I got 3 pound of owder.
I would like to get a mec 410 loader but just too many other things going on now to be able to afford it.
so has any of you used this powder for pistol or cast rifle?
I have worked up a good 357 load so far , but would like to use it in 38spl , maybe 45auto with 230+gr bullets and maybe some cast rifle , 7.62x39, 7.62x54, 30-30, 30-06, and maybe 12ga 1oz slugs.
I read in a few places that it was safe to use 2400 starting loads and that has worked for me in 357.
my loads is
357 mag mixed cases
cci small Rifle primer (all I had) and works good
158 cast swc , and 200 cast tc
I settled on 14.7 for the 158 and it is the most accurate load I have tried in this gun , lot better than any factory ammo I have tried,
and I settled on 11gr for the 200 gr boolit, was not as accurate but a good load till I ran out of the boolits I had kept from the box o boolits or one of the boxes going round in the pif section.
I did try 11gr with a 230gr boolit in my 45auto , it cycles good and recoil was lower than with power pistol ,but the primer seemed to be like a hot power pistol load. so I only tried one , I had no unburnt powder though.
anyway thaats what I have used it for so far , anyone else wanna list their loads, it would sure help me and maybe it will help someone else.
thanks in advance to anyone that replies , oh I haven't had the chance to chrono the loads I listed yet, but the 357 load seems like a hard hitting load with no pressure sighns and very accurate from a 4inch barrel wheel gun.
hope everyone has a great day/weekend
GOD BLESS
