I need a bit more information before I can run this load. Mainly, your intended Cartridge Overall Length (COAL).
Thanks,

Again, sorry for the long delay here. This is a good question and I have wondered something along similar lines. So I ran a few numbers in QuickLOAD. Here's the short of it, the optimal powder for a...
I’m still alive, albeit a little slow in the response. I’m busy, busy, busy. If you comment on the thread and do not see my reply in a few hours please send me an email at...
Sorry I missed your post on this thread. I will run the numbers for you tomorrow, hope all is well!

A shorter barrel isn't going to make much of a difference in for twist rate requirements. Your standard 1:8 twist rate is what I would go with unless you want to do something funky like shoot...
Psh...please... I love crazy stuff ;-)
That's a good question, honestly I'd work up this load like I would any other. In your case I'd just need the bullet you intend to shoot. If you don't have...
Gotcha, then we aren't too far off.
There are some variables that can help refine QuickLOAD results. One of these is the capacity of the case. I am sure you are aware that pressures in pistol...
Hey Andy,
That's a interesting project you got going there. Casting in Zinc, I'd love to know more about how you're doing that, and your results. I've done some work with Zinc core used in...
I load for 7.62x39, and IMR 4227 will work for it, but is too fast for 223 Rem, and too slow burning for 45 ACP. I would say that IMR 4227 is probably a better powder for 7.62x39 then 3031.
As...
No stupid questions here :-)
Unfortunately you’re kind of stuck buying at least three different powder types. 45 ACP requires a fast burning pistol powder, I like to use Bullseye, since it’s...
Thanks for sharing those results.
I’ve seen that with QuickLOAD sometimes it will overestimate the velocity, sometimes by quite a bit, especially when dealing with light for caliber loads.

Gotcha, well here are the suggested powders and loads for a 124gr XTP out of a 16in barrel
1464
Here it is for a 124gr XTP with a 10.5in barrel
1467
Here it is for a 147gr XTP with a...
What powder are you intending to use?
Yes it does...I run “What Ifs” all the time on QuickLOAD.
Post the load information and I will run it for you!

Personally I think shooting a plain Lead bullet much past 2000fps a bad idea. Let alone 3000+ fps.
I’d contact Lee and see what they say about it. I’d be curious on their response.
Check...

Pretty much any of the molds on the top row could be used for 300 BLK. The bullets will drop out at .309-.311 depending on the alloy.
I don’t know if your looking for a subsonic round or...
I haven’t had my reloading stuff set up in two years. We just keep having a hard time finding a home large enough for my family and my hobbies.
Lucky for me I have access to a workshop and can do...
In short yes.
You are purchasing a stamp that only applies to that specific NFA item. A new item requires a new stamp.
It sucks, but I can legitimately say one of my hobbies is stamp...

Likely nothing noticeable. Maybe you’d feel a bit less recoil, or the shot would sound a little muted but not likely. Not at .5gr under.
If you had a chronograph, you would have seen a drop in...
Gotcha, I suspect that you are going to find that it’s more the bullet and not the brass that will tighten up your groups. Not saying that Hornady brass won’t make a difference but it’s typically...
