had the reloader setup for 38's to shoot last weeks steel match, so i went ahead and finished reloading the box of 500 bullets i had left.

 

This was a nice load for steel about 800 fps very little muzzle flip almost no smoke see vid below..

 

38 SPL rainier ballistics 158 HP over 4.0 gr AA#2 wolf primer.

 

very clean load you would never know i shot about 175 rnds through a revolver..

 

 

 

If they actually enforced the 750 fps rule for steel everyone would be screwed.

The RO said they sounded hot.. LOL... actually just went back and looked it up 802-900 fps.. i was thinking of the 3.3 gr wadcutters i loaded..

 

One day one of us needs to come up with a Chrono and actually see what we're shooting. I know mine are pretty slow too, just by where the spent brass ends up

AA data? I'm at a loss for the moment

Yah man.... Zero chance them 45s are going 750 fps.

 

 

My 38 spl steel challenge loads vary from 750-850 fps

 

105 grain bullet / 4.5gr vv n320

 

I fiddled around with lowering the charge closer to 4 grains, but accuracy and velocity was extremely inconsistent.

If I go by the Hornady book then they should be moving between 750 and 800 FPS -- I never actually measured them -- Never had an opportunity to shoot thru a chrono

 

200grn Lead C/T Hornady

 

4.6 grn Bullseye -- CCI LPP

 

I guess it doesn't matter much what I've been loading -- I only have 200 or so of those bullets left and they are stupid expensive now

 

I have a couple thousand Jacketed 185 grn SWC that are gonna be used next

Last time around with the hype i could not get .45's that is what actualy lead me to purchase the Kimber 9mm for uspsa i had 2000 bullets in 9mm that i could reload because 45's were not available..

I'm having the opposite problem now --- I have a few thousand .452 projectiles -- next to nothing in .355 and trying to set up a rig for Jake to go centerfire -- Been trying to wait out extreme and get plated stuff from Jon but every month they say 3 more weeks -- I just don't understand how a company that stopped taking orders can't catch up in 2 months

 

Anyway -- I know a lot of you use Missouri - I almost ready to go that route...

I waited 3 months for my 124 355's from percision they came just in time i had reloaded my last 300 bullets.. I did email them about my order and they released 2000 and a week later the rest of my order arrived..
