These 110 Gr. FMJ bullets make some purdy reloads!

Shiny! Nice job buffing!

No buffing required - this is what the brass looks like after liquid tumbling.

"purdy reloads" indeed .... have you run them through a chrony

have you run them through a chrony

Haven't even shot them yet - but hopefully will this weekend.
No chrony - but the 100 grainers clocked in at 1700 FPS through a friends one time.
Never felt the need to own a chrony - always loaded for accuracy & performance & never felt the need to 'know' the speed of the bullet.

having one certainly isn't a necessity but I find it gives me some very helpful info .... I use one for two reasons .... first, to ensure that the loads I develop consistently generate very close to the same muzzle velocity .... a marked lack of consistency with light loading our 45-70 has been an issue .... secondly, knowing the velocity and ballistics coefficient enables me to run the load through a ballistics program to determine the bullets trajectory .... that allows me to sight one it at a short range and know very close to where it will hit at longer ranges

Whose bullet and what powder are you using?

Whose bullet and what powder are you using?

The bullets are Speer and 12 grains of Unique.

I loaded some of those with 26 gr imr 4198 and they were screamers. I was shooting steel targets out to 400 yds easy.
