*************************
Had about 200 x .270 Win loaded up when it became evident that I was shooting really badly. It later became clear I was only shooting badly with the .270.
I had shot out 7 mm of the throat.
After having the barrel rechambered I sat with the above 200 odd not quite correct for chamber cartridges that needed pulling. It really is faster than the hammer after the first few.]]> Reloading Methodology oafpatroll https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/first-reload-test/paged/2#post-1562 Re: First reload test https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/first-reload-test/paged/2#post-1560 Mon, 15 Aug 2022 10:09:14 +0000

collet works so cleanly, you pull it and decant powder. Kinetic is so easy, just fit and moer it. Kinetic hammers will break and tips get bent, then powder is also messed and contaminated- none of these issues with a collet puller, only more work.

I glued a tightly fitting plug of closed cell foam to the bottom of my hammer. That saves the bullet tips and keep doesn't catch powder. Bit of wire screen pressed into the top of a funnel means i can just tip out the contents straight into the powder bottle. Had to do 150 rifle rounds once and a using a collet would have crushed my spirits.

Once the collet is set up and you have done 30 or so, it is just so close to as easy as fast. I now after a few hundred collet pulled cases, will only use the hammer if its 2 maybe 3 pulls - other wise the collet is faster. Test it some time.]]> Reloading Methodology Treeman https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/first-reload-test/paged/2#post-1560 Re: First reload test https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/first-reload-test/paged/2#post-1361 Sun, 26 Jun 2022 00:51:54 +0000

Damn this is addictive stuff, I just get a thrill of seeing my rounds pile up even though I'm not getting a chance to shoot yet, I do however anticipate a mess up in the coming months and days so want to get a collet bullet puller that I read about, can I pick your brain again kinetic or collet puller will be better?

wait till you start thinking "Natal riots - Zombie Uprising" then its like 2000 rounds stock and 2000 for practice, and 200 for load development tryouts.
Later you will have a range ammo stockpile and a precision loaded stockpile, you will realise you need stock of 90gr for blowing up zombie heads, 127 for economy shooting + some 147 gr for EDC. Plus you need some mono's just to be environmentally compliant.
Then you need some range ammo just to be able to reload more - then you start studying web sites and forums and realise you need to try "this" and "that" .

So just wanted to update all, I finally got it loading at 4.2 gr

It was the short charge causing the issue a friend and I tested on a chrony and given I dnt know much his dad that's reloading for a while tested and confirmed we got 915 to 925 on the 50 rounds we tested

Just goes to show that experienced people are the best source of knowledge when reloading

You rich guys, 50 round tests ?]]> Reloading Methodology Treeman https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/first-reload-test/paged/2#post-1328 Re: First reload test https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/first-reload-test/paged/2#post-1325 Tue, 21 Jun 2022 11:59:40 +0000

ARK,

Greetings, hope this information can assist you in someway.

I'm also new to reloading, in short this was my experience.

BULLETS: Silver Rapids GOSA BLUE 147gn (Bonded Polymer Jacket) 9mmP.
PRIMERS: GINEX
PROPELLANT: VECTAN BA 9.5
BRASS: MIXED
RELOADING SETUP: DILLON SDB

In short I did reloads for my CZ 75 SP-01 SHADOW and GLOCK 19X.

The issues you are explaining is the issue I had with my CZ, but that was occasionally not frequent. So the feedback I got from Silver Rapids was to drop my COL to 28.20mm or get it as close to 28.20mm as possible, at the time my COL was averaging around 28.60mm.

It did solve the issue for me, about 300 through CZ without any issues and about 600 through GLOCK without any issues.

Thank you very much, as part of my next set of test rounds I have a few that I changed the OAL to 28.0mm but will only get to test them next weekend
