Well I just got back from shooting 20 rounds I made last night. My hand hurts. The load used the components above with 36gr H110. When they say no wimps please, they sure mean it.
The load was very accurate so I think I'm going to stick with this powder charge. It is the starting load, but honestly, it's about all I want to handle. Anymore would just be absolutely ridiculous. Maybe one of those Hogue grips would help.
I did have my first dud primer. I tried to ignite it 4 times and it just refused to go off. I'm gonna deprime it and see if it has any compound in it. Maybe it got contaminated somehow. Not sure but it sure shattered my confidence in CCI primers. One dud out of 20 is not good at all.
I ended up using the TC die with a very firm crimp. None of the rounds jumped crimp so I figure I'll just keep crimping with it unless I start running into problems. BTW, someone warned of sticking cases with full house 454 loads. I had no such issues. All ejected just fine.
Anyway, that's all for now.
