And that was antique guns, not the cases that was the issue. Lyman does not give any pressure on 30 luger loads. But doubt w cast and unique, going to blow up a glock.
Some data from when I was working up a load for the NOE mold I bought.
I wrote down 5.5gr unique, 104gr cast hollow point, lino w a gas check, sized .309. 1264fps.
Same bullet, w 6.0gr unique 1317-1334fps, avg 1325, ES 16.41
Same bullet, 2 6.5gr unique, 1356-1357fps, avg 1356, ES .76 a pretty good load. No pressure signs, no flinging them to the next county.
Tried AA9, but not alot of velocity. 8.0gr was only 1100fps.
Tried True blue, even worse, all of 594fps, so moved on.
Power pistol was the best, 7.0gr w a 104gr cast, 1462fps. And I went to a solid 117gr, shorter OAL, 7.3gr power pistol, was 1440-1442fps, avg, 1441, ES 1.2. Another good load, and what I used to load several boxes.
I used the NOE as they need to be shorter than factory to run in a 1911mag. I can give a solid crimp on the bullet to prevent set back. Work fine in my Tokarev to.
