Re: Got Bored So I Made Some . . . .
Looks like a lot of fun waiting to happen. I miss my Dillon 650 where I could crank out lots of .45 Colt in no time.
Re: Got Bored So I Made Some . . . .
Have you chrono'd those? They must be smokin' for a plated.
I load 158rn over 6.5gr. Unique and the get 1350 from a 20" Rossi.
I've heard you can strip the plating if you push plated bullets too fast. I assume you haven't had this issue?

That's a nice mess 'o ammo, Steve. It would take me a looong time to load that many rounds with my single-stage press.

Very nice cache. What overall length did you load those to?
I am certain that my Rossi 357 needs dusting off.

Shooting the Rossi .357 that Paco gave me a few years ago, I find the 125 gr. JHP and TMJ from Speer to be excellent in the accuracy department. The long barreled rifle gives great velocity with the top end loads and they are accurate to boot.
Re: Got Bored So I Made Some . . . .
Awesome! Thanks for the info, Steve.
I knew about the crimp thing. It is the most critical part of using plated bullets. I load a ton of em for 38, 357, and 45 ACP.
I always used Rainer and was bummed to see they went out of business. Have been slowly switching to Berrys as my supply is used up.
I still have a full box of 125gr FP. I will have to try your load.
Thanks again!
