Never Give Up!!!

A while back I posted a pic of some 357446 bullets & mold & I`ve tried to get em to shoot in my GPs .

Well today was the day I had run up the ladder with 2400 & had good results but was lookin for spectacular results !!

I switched powders to H-110 & when I hit 15.6grs I shot a 1 hole group(off the rest & at 30yds) & the extreme spread was only 9fps for 10 shots !!! Avg fps was 1290fps with cci 500 primers , cases trimmed to 1.280

Man it feels good!!!!!

It`ll never happen again!!!!

Awesome! H110 can be hard to get consistent velocities with. Remember the avg velocity on that? You use mag primers?

ICH

I agree with ya whole heartedly on H-110 being hard to work with, thats why I went 2400 first !!

But as I`ve seem to hit the threshold of pressure for this load to work as good as it does seems unreal !!!

It even leaves no residue in the barrel or cases !!!

I`m glad I made a run of these bullets , I have 14 lbs left yet!!

I also have 20 more loaded to shoot tomorrow to see if it was a fluke????

I also discovered the 'magic recipe' with my 9mm. Feels good to get things straight, like tuning a motorcycle's carbs.
