What did you do in the reloading room today?

Finally able to shoot some ladder test barnes 55 gr LE frangible bullets using CFE 223. The groups from 24.5 - 26 were fairly close, group wise. However, the 24.5 ones did not cycle 100% across 2 of the "few" AR's i tested them with. Wanted to see what they did @ 25 yds, since this will be "up close and personal" rounds for home and office.

300 rds of 124 gr fmj done for th espouses VP-9 and a few sig 320's i picked up. Noticing a lot of newer hand guns run better with the 124's vs 115's.

I loaded up some .308 to verify the load from a powder test last week. 5 round group measured just under .25" c-to-c with an SD of 5.8. I guess I don't need to do anything else other than load a bunch. I'm glad it worked as I bought 3000 of the 167 Scenars.

I loaded up some test ammo.
Now Im curious how many grains does it take to induce a squib with these powders, primers and bullets.

be careful of detonation if you're going to do extremely reduced loads.

I've never heard of detonation in a [normal] handgun caliber.
