Reloading and Shooting

I got a really good deal on these (free) before they went out of business. I’ve heard great things about these particular polymer coated bullets.

Tested them out with a batch of 20. So, going from a 115 grain bullet to a 147 grain bullet, you’d think it needed more powder. Not so. I actually went from 4.2 grains of Titegroup to 3.2 grains, with no issues. I was afraid less powder might not cycle my “Big Sig” as it normally will not cycle with only 4.0 grains. However, reloading is a funny thing. A 147 grain bullet seats more deeply into the cartridge. Since there’s less space in the cartidge the pressure increases more quickly once the powder starts to burn. At any rate, 3.2 grains works well. No squibs!

Now I have 100 more up to take to the range this afternoon. Woohoo!
