Dec 19, 2005 · I'm trying to get together some stuff for my first batch of reloads and I can't figure out how to pick my bullets. I'm shooting .357 mag out of a Rossi 92 and an Uberti Bisley. They both will be used for hunting, personal protection and …

Aug 12, 2019 · a bullet that can be driven fast, yet has more energy than the typical high-speed 125 JSP. And their 180 FP does awesome damage to wet newspapers and stumps! On the other hand, if you're shooting lower velocity loadings, there's no need to use harder alloys, so pick one of the other brands recommended above.

May 24, 2009 · There is really no way to predict where a different load will end up, in advance. I have seen the same bullet weight, over the same powder charge, go 4" to one side when changing bullet brands. To check out the trajectory difference, shoot a few at longer range, compare the drop, etc.

Dec 26, 2013 · In most cases, the magazine OAL is less than the chamber, but that's not a given. Find the lands, then back the seating depth off at least .005". I normally use .015" just to be on the safe side. Also, keep in mind that different bullet brands and types will have varying COAL to meet the lands. You need to establish these parameters for each type.

Mar 10, 2006 · It's my first pistol and I bought it used from a friend. He had the ramp polished and put in a recoil reducer. I put the stock spring back in because the recoil reducer made it too difficult for me to pull back on the slide. But today I put 200 rounds (different bullet brands/grains) and it performed beautifully. Thanks again!

May 3, 2007 · The basic pressure relationship is that as a bullet seats deeper in a case there is less room for the gases being generated by the propellant early in the burn. This speeds up the burn and raises the peak pressure. Don't worry about mentioning other bullet brands. A quick search will show a lot of that happens here.
