Need load data for the following Drawn or Swaged Projectiles:
This is the weight of the empty case with no lead needed.
Liberty Ammo makes 9MM+ P 50gr @ 2,000fps, as well as other Ultra Light ammo so it's possible.
9MM 60gr HP Drawn down from 380 or 9MM case.
38spl 60gr HP Drawn down from 380 or 9MM case.
357Mag 60gr HP Drawn down from 380 or 9MM case.
40S&W 60gr HP swaged from 9MM case.
10MM 60gr HP swaged from 9MM case.
44Mag 70gr HP swaged from 40S&W case.
45ACP 70gr HP swaged from 40S&W case.
50AE 80gr HP swaged from 45ACP case.
500S&W 80gr HP swaged from 45ACP case.
Thanks in advance for any help, GunWhoreDer
Being for Swaged loads this must be posted here.

I think I know what you are talking about. I swage 9mm brass up to .400 with my BT improved heavy duty swage die. I then fill the case with wax. The bullets come out at 70 grains +/- 5. I load them with 6.0 grains of Titegroup. They are a blast to shoot. Hope this helps.

I'd start with the lightest bullet data I can find then keep on going from there.
unique is gonna be a good starting powder because it is stable.
once/if you get to a point of a case full of that and haven't reached pressure/velocity then a step to a faster powder is warranted.
doing this at home requires diligence/patience.

That is a nice way of saying DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME when you just know he will.

Reduced Load charges have long been done with Rifle Calibers to make for easier recoil.
What I want are loads that work like Liberty Ammunition's 9mm+40SW @ 2,000FPS with about 500 Ft Lbs of Energy and 45ACP @ 1,900FPS with about 600 Ft Lbs of Energy.
I would load just the Donor case projectile with no lead or other filler needed (quick and cheap), only draw back I see is the lighter the projectile the more powder needed. I can live with that.
Thanks, GunWhoreDer

Let us know about your results.
I have done some speculation about fireing .380 auto cases from .375 caliber rifles. Not looking for extreme velocities just fun shooters.

Oh and I would like any details for Ultra Light 50BMG .510 Loads too.
I will shoot some Military Surplus 8mm and swage the cases to .510
Thanks for any help you can provide.
