Hoo Wee!

I actually plan to salvage the few remaining "too light" rounds by "adding" weight. I want to add some shot pellets and see what that does as a saboted charge. I still want to try some actual home made jacketed projectiles. I have an old C&H bullet swage die set.

Perhaps use some LEE alox to lubricate the alloy jackets, it sure can't hurt. And manipulate the actual bearing surface or "ojive" if you will.

Isn't it interesting a .45 Colt barrel only has an actual 0.443" hole in it?!

      - I didn't weigh a .45 ACP hull, likely 100+ grs? - WB, 2018-02-24, 07:02
        What if you put another 100 grns of epoxy in the hull - KE, 2018-02-24, 07:59
