Recycled bullet

The CZP09, Blackhawk 357 and Hellcat Pro all eat this https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230219/5ad2161de2326444f8cd75d3975e7d3c.jpgbullet loaded over Winchester AutoComp.
4.3 grains is my 9x19 accuracy load, and I expand with the Lee universal so the casing accepts the bottom bullet groove, then seat the bullet so the step on the ogive is flush with the case mouth, then crimp 1/4 turn after die is contacting the casing, to promote feeding.
It's loud and barks decently from the pistols.
I am exploring this gun powder in 38 special brass. It is working very well in the black hawk, with clean burning, excellent accuracy, and the spent shells fall out pointing the six-gun up.
I shot them all so have none of the clear or chrome plate coated to show in revolver brass.
Am making more, that's the white dusted bullets from the other post I made. They are clear and sized 358 now. They will get loaded with 6.5 grains of AutoComp. They are loud and make a small fire ball.
The green bullets are specifically for the 77/357 and are cast from #2 alloy. They are full of trail boss and sound like hammering nails into a deck.
With a 4x Leupold it will put twenty shots into an inch at fifty yards and it's the most accurate cast bullet I have tried in that rifle (after a series of consecutive disappointments with 358429, rcbs 150kt, and a bunch of commercial cast bullets).
Some Speer Law-Man FMJ in the background.
My bullets group better and leave a cleaner gun.
Have a good day and be safe.
