Reloading / Re: 303 British light load

Check out "The Load" by gunwriter Ed Harris.
It's a low velocity load that uses Red Dot powder that works great in many rifle rounds.

Also, the reduced H4895 loads might be a good choice.
The formula for that is on Hodgdons website.

Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: 10mm reload observation

It's amazing how things jump out on an optical comparator.

I've used one at work a few times to check out cartridges and solve handloading problems.

I taper crimp my handloads .421-.422 at the mouth and my Glock 20 Gen 3 with KKM barrel & 20 lb Wolff spring feeds em 100%, but several types of Underwood blows primers totally out of the case and fails to chamber every other round anyhow.

Underwood ammo from the same boxes ran 100% with no issue other than a few smiles in my Glock in stock condition.

For practical purposes I control at 1.255. And don't get too concerned if +/- 0.002
Same here, regardless of bullet.

I'm gonna try Longshot one of these days.

I use a lot of Power Pistol but it seems like LS is more popular for 10mms.

The two are pretty close though.

11.0 grains of Blue Dot and 180 grain XTPs have been a great load for my Gen3 G20 with KKM barrel and #20 Wolf non captive RSA.

I'm loadin a few here too.

10mm with 165 gr Bayou T/C with a decent amount of Power Pistol and 9mm with 124 gr Bayou T/C and a much lighter load of W231.

I've read a few places that Alliant Power Pistol is/was used in an awful lot of factory ammo.

I love the stuff for 9mm, and have looked  thru a lot of the pulldown information here for most calibers, and it looks like other similar burning rate powders are used instead (WSF, Silhouette, Longshot etc.) of PP.

I know a lot of powders may physically look like canister grade powders and be totally different but I don't think I saw any educated guesses that PP was in any factory loads.

Just curious if other similar powders are now favored for some reason, or maybe it's all BS.

Factory Ammo / Re: CCI 22 Magnum prices
May 20 2016 05:15:37 PM MDT
I still got some CCI Maxi Mag and Winchester Super X I paid $5 a box for, but the supply is down to a few boxes.

The .22 WMR does a great job killing game bigger than it should.

Factory Ammo / Re: Federal 223 100rd value pack

I've seen that ammo at Walmart (nowhere else) but never bought it.

Rural King is a great store - we got out first one about a year ago. Great place for ammo, Stihl chainsaws and $8 RK jeans.

Reloading 10mm ammo / Re: Cast HP with a steel shot?

Cool pic. What brand ammo is that?

I'm aware it's not common gun shop/Walmart stuff.

I'm sure you could sell the Titegroup to IDPA & USPSA shooters, or trade it for something slower.

The action shooters love that stuff.

Thanks for posting the targets RDub.

Looks like Blue Dot and Unique did well with the 200gr RCBS.

I have a GEN3 20 made in 2009, according to serial number.

With stock barrel and RSA, approximately 20% of Underwood 200 gr. XTP's show a bulge, and 10% show a creased smile.

It looks about like the photo of the 2009 G23, but I don't have any newer Glock 20 factory barrels to compare chamber support

Gunsmithing / Re: case support for kkm glock 40 barrel

KKM makes a damn fine barrel. You won't be disappointed.
