Well another uneventful weekend of frustration.
Took out some 33gr jhp with 5.6gr PP 30gr v-max with 5.8gr PP and 6gr PP Well I think my chronograph is officially fubar I got 1 valid reading out of all 9 rounds which was 6grPP 30gr v-max which I canted the chrono towards the sun on the last shot which was a nice 2318 ft/sec but it did expand to .358" in the center and .3655" at the web. and was a little tight to remove. So I need to whip up another batch of brass with less neck reaming. For those curious out of the 50 cases I only had 3 that split necks. Now in my experience with my other wildcat these stressers are typically caused during the forming process and if they don't split on the first firing they typically will hold up about like normal (4-7 firings) I called my cousin and he's going to loan me his labradar so I don't keep wasting my time and efforts but that won't be till the end of the month when I see him. So for now i'm gonna take a break I also plan to try some slower powders as I think PP is doing some weird spiking. May even pour a lap and polish the chamber to aid in extraction. I plan to hit it hard in the beginning of March. Right now i'm just spinning my wheels going nowhere |

We have some e20g, 25g, and 30g HP's I'm low on stock but will make more.
These were designed for the smaller capacity .22's (.218 and smaller) and they do great!

0.435 on the light ones, 0.455 on the heavier ones.
0.435 is the shortest I can make the jackets and 19.0 is the lightest I can make them with the core, so I just settled on 20g to round it up. If anyone was curious, the jacket by itself shoots like junk.

May have to give them a try once this Covid passes. Seems like our country is on both ends of the spectrum. Some people are out of work and others are being worked to the bone.....I fall in the latter category....so tattered! |
