Now that I have your attention, I want to fireform another batch of Jamison brass. I'm thinking a charge of 14.0 gr of TrailBoss (got alot of it) under a .459 350gr Laser Cast bullet. (got lots of them too). What think?
Well that worked - got my attention real quick.
I found another 100 348 cases under the bench last week - been thinkin about what to do
I once upon a time had a not so nice experience with red dot - 38 special case reloads in a 357 mag model 92 - went from ok/safe to case separation when I upped the projectile 10 grains. So I am overly hesitant (read scared maybe!) using fast burning smokeless powder to blow cases out (blow up gun is the worry).
Last time around I annealed the cases, neck expanded up to 45 cal (three steps), put em through the FL size die to get the shoulder, then went shootin with blackpowder, the shootin part was fun, I needed the practice, the rifle was accurate enough with the forming loads to be fun. I think that is what I am gonna do with these ones too.
I shoot into a backstop most of the time so I can retrieve the lead and I roll me own powder so cost is only primers and loading time. I think you just made my mind up!!
