What did you do in the reloading room today?

[crays]

I started loading 124's with Unique. 4.5 grs OAL 1.140, averaging 1K The ruger 9pc performs well with them. Also likes the 147's w/ TG.

Plated or coated?

FMJ's some old inventory i found from (this is how old) Montana Gold. Think it's part of a few thousand i picked up when they had a sale, maybe 10 yrs ago.

It's interesting how many loads for subs (under 1050) that have been published in the last year or so, with the availability of suppressors almost everywhere.

Did you switch to Unique from TG because you had it on hand, or other reasons? I think you and I have discussed this in the past, but I can't remember. I ask because I have a lot more TG than Unique, but I do have a pile of 124 jacketed to use. fmj and jhp

What’s the PF on that load? I play with 3.9gr TG and 124gr Blue Bullets. Cycles and is accurate in my 2011, but won’t chamber in my CZ because of its short throat.

Let me get back to you on this.

Edit: Just realized you were asking about Power Factor. I have no idea.

Because i have a few K of the 124's and seeing some feed back elsewhere for subs, with Unique, i figured why not. I have a few kegs of TG and many 147's sitting here. Throw in the 650 and one can get a lot done in a reasonable time frame .

I like TG for my 1911's but go with Unique for the Mauser in 45 acp. That action can handle high pressure rifle rounds, hot loaded 45 isn't a problem.

Any of you guys tried Alliant Sport Pistol powder? I hear that it’s a superb, clean burning powder that is similar to VV 310/320 for less $$. Haven’t found any locally and only want to try a LB to possibly replace my Titegroup.

There's some good discussion and testing at THR forums. I haven't tried it cuz I've settled on BE-86.

Did a quick clean of the reloading room today. It had been while since I emptied my spent primer bins on my 1050s.

Below is an almost full 5 gallon bucket of spent primers. One heavy bitch.

Will Koscove give you ammunition brass price for that?

That's about $120 at your local scrap place. Probably much more, like close to $150+.
