Reloading 200 grn. XPB
Posted: Thu Dec 21, 2017 9:24 pm
Hello everyone Thank you for letting me join your group
I have a 20 inch Bushmaster upper and a Ruger American Ranch. I did some reloading a few years ago and now that Ohio will let us use the 450 and I am not happy with Hornady's performance on Deer. They are a little to explosive for me as I don't want all that lead and shrapnel in my meat. I have shot the Barnes bullets in my muzzle loader for years and really like them so I want to try reloading my own. I am hoping that Santa will bring me a Lyman Reloading Manuel and a Chronograph, I will be loading Lil'-Gun and Rem. 7-1/2 small rifle pri. I have only crimped 45acp rounds and I am not sure where to crimp or how much? I do believe that it head spaces of the mouth of the case so I don't want to crimp to much. What over all length do you guys use with this bullet? What charges of Lil'-Gun are you using? My hope is to be able to shoot one round in both guns so I guess that I will have to load for the Bushmaster upper and see how the Ruger likes them. Hornady Custom will shoot less that an inch in both guns as long as I do my part. Any other information will be much appreciated. Thank You
Merry Christmas to all and may God bless you and yours:)
