I recently bought a SW 15-4 after reading the 75,000 WC Thread and immediately began asking questions and reading threads. Alloy, brass, lube, powder etc. All were asked or read up on and I got much advice.
Today I had a snow day off of work so started in on testing. I tried many loadings of Promo and two different types of lube, two different primers.
358145 dropping about 148gr with a 20:1 alloy crimped in the crimp groove
WC Brass
WSP
2.4gr Promo
Bens LL
10 Paces Offhand. I'm going to concentrate on this loading as it produced the best results. No leading, minimal soot, easy recoil. I have not touched the sights and they are where they were out of the box. I'm going to adjust them for a 0600 hold as that is what I like.
Thanks to everyone that has helped on this.
