I Wonder What The Pressure Is ?
I went to the range to shoot a group with a new cast bullet load in the 32 S&W at 100 yards
Oh well about the same as most loads
But there was a member shooting a rifle at another bench ' the loads sounded HOT
So when I was done I waited to get my target till he was done
We talked as we both went down range
He changed paper targets and I saw 5 or 6 holes in the 12" x 12 " paper target
Maybe a 8" group at 100 yards
He complained the rifle didn't like the "New" load
Before I left
I stopped down to his bench to say Good By
I noticed he was shooting a Remington 788 in 44 Mag .... I would like to find one in decent shape myself
But then I looked at the ammo box
Winchester USA box
But on the top he had wrote
Winchester Case
Hornady 240 HP
Federal Large Pistol Mag
AA #7 20 grains ( A Almost 4 grain OVER LOAD )
When I got home I looked at my Accurate Arms reloading manual and saw 16.1 gr of AA #7 was listed as Max at 34,800 PSI
So I wonder what pressure his over load was producing ? :holysheep
Another reason I normally will NOT shoot other peoples reloads
