    Ok so I got the guns and like a little kid with a new toy i went straight to the range! They ran great, atleast mine did, gonna let him fire the first shots out of his. So my question is I tried 2 different charges with hp-38 (I use it for all my other pistols, well most so I’m trying to keep with it) the min is 5.2 and max 5.8. I’m using extremes 180gr. My issue is that even the highest load I tried was 5.5gr and they didn’t seem to have the power that the box of factory I ran the first day. With extremes being plated I was trying to stay away from max but do you think I can push them a little farther? I’m not seeing any pressure signs so far.

    Recoil means nothing!!
    Without a chronograph, who knows what the bullet is doing.
    Those factory loads may have fast burning powder for a ton of recoil and flash, and may be 1000fps loads.
    Never judge power by recoil and flash, that usually just means crappy loads.
    I loaded 10mm with AA#9 powder and the same bullet. Limited recoil and 1300+ FPS
