Americon Reloading

[gadabout]

Just received my 115/125g v-crown order from American. It is 150 115g and 350 124g guessing after the sorting and weighing. Boy they are a nice bullet and I will just hate to shoot them, Ha Ha!! Craig

I got a similar count on my V-Crown order.  Haven?t loaded any yet.  I like 115 in my 9mm.  Right now I?m loading the Federal 115 Hi Shok bullets I got from them.

Just finished 10 124g for testing although I have loaded and shot before. I did something funny sorting yesterday. I was weighting and putting in a pile to then push in a can for holding!! I had two piles, one for 115g and one for 124g so of course I swept some 115g into the 124g can. Figured it out and re weighted the 125g today sorting out the few 115g. Boy what a dumb s..t I can be at times. Oh well all fixed now and will report after I shoot tomorrow!!  Craig

Well the 124g shot OK and I was shooting with 115g FMJ and the 124g was a little more comfortable. More of a sharp reccoil but not too hard to handle. I loaded like 50 today and replaced the FMJ also.  Craig

Shot more of both and the 124g are very good. I think the 115g FMJ need to be loaded hotter. I will work on that although I have like 300+ loaded ready to go but do shoot fine in the Sig 2022 but I like to shoot the 124g as it is more comfortable in both guns!!  Craig

As stated in the other thread I loaded 50 at 6.3 or so. We will see tomorrow. Craig

This is somewhat later!! I got another order from American. It is FMJ 115g and 124g. I have sorted and weighted the 1000 and I would guess 700 115g and 300 124g. Boy weighting them to sort is a pain in my back but all done and it took an hour or so. BTW the post office has lost the order before this one but it's insured so even if they don't find it I will get my money for the lost order. It's lost at the post office distribution center, only 30 miles from my house. Oh well maybe they will find it!!!! Craig

Turns out the post office delivery from the distribution center to my local office the driver had a very bad accident and flipped the truck he was driving. The whole truck is a loss with no deliveries being made from it. Oh well I will have to make a claim to recoup my money. Anyway received another order today AND IT'S ANOTHER 1000 115G AND 124G FMJ so I am weighting and sorting now.  So far alot more 124g which is OK as I usually get more 115. I like both so it really doesn't matter!!  Craig

I am guessing I got 600 124g and 400 114g. It could be 700 300 split but like I said I don't care as I shoot them both.  Craig

Afternoon Craig, do you own, shoot, or reload for any10mm weapons, or primarily 9mm? I shoot my share of 9?s and .45?s, but have to say, there?s something about the 10mm, I just can?t seem to get enough of it. I can?t put my finger on what it exactly is, but sure gives me a lot of joy shooting them 😊
Have a safe and Blessed Christmas

I have a Tanfolia witness in 1oMM and a Kimber target 2 in 10 but when you shoot every day 10 can make an even older man out of you, Ha Ha. I reload 10 of course but just shoot it every so often. Craig

[Kenk]

Yep, I totally agree

I just received 1000 116g fmj from American yesterday. A couple different styles but all 115g so no weighting. I have allready loaded some up!!  Craig
