Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Al, I weighed a decent handful. I good many at 158.1, few were 158.3, and the lowest was 157.7.
They don't have a crimp groove.
I never got around to playing with them. I did put a handful of rounds through the new Rossi with no hiccups.
Then I went with the wife on some errands and didn't get home until 3.
I did load up the last of my heavy cast for the 444.
The red obes one the left are over 25.0 grs of 2400, and the mean green ones are over 41.0 grs. ofH4198.
Guess I need to fire up the casting pot before long.
I did adjust the OAL a wee bit, it's now 2.533". I put 5 in the mag tube and cycled them like ole Lucas Mc Cain.
Except for not shooting, I think ole Lucas would have been proud.

I noticed that they didn’t have a crimp groove in the photos of the posted link. No big deal in a single shot

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
I guess they'll be fine for the revolvers, but hey for that price I'll just feed in those two.
I most exclusively shoot cast in the Rossi any way.
I have other bullets If I have a need for something else in it.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
I picked up a c and h roll crimper from ebay to solve the crimp grove problem.
Once i get the swaging going i'll start applying a crimp groove at the proper seating depth.
A buddy is going to give me some 38 super brass, and i've 380 on the way. I am hoping that the 380, allows for thos 170 to 180 bullets.

Those Zero 125gr sp shot very well for me. Im going to order more before I get home so I dont half to pay the communist 6.5% excise tax on the sale. Colorado now seeking to outlaw all guns with detachable magazines.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Thanks Mags first explanation I have seen of the bill. But to me its a modified ban of assault type weapons as to which the bill author says hes not in favor of. Details from him were not as good as the ones from that reporter. I wish I could find more details on the excise tax law but I havent been able to find them.
