I loaded 450 rounds of precision .223 for the Team Safari on a single stage press, weighing every charge with the Chargemaster. Barf.
Just finished 1K of 9mm...trying to decide if I want to do .223, .300BO or 6.5PCC next.
Well crap. Latest test of 147gn 9mm poi is 3"-4" low at 25' poa. Not wanting to change out another front sight, so I guess I'll try to locate some 124gn bullets to increase the velocity for a flatter trajectory near a similar charge with TG. Really wish you could purchase 20 bullets instead of 100+.
That sounds like no fun at all.Quote:

It'll be easy. We'll win for sure.
You MIGHT be going the wrong direction. .357 mag loads shoot lower that .38 loads in the same gun for me. I surmise this is because the bullet is out of the barrel before it rises as far. At 25 yards, I don't think bullet drop is the problem.Quote:
