When I saw that, something clicked in my head. Lo and behold, they have 2 warnings talking about how FTX bullets should only be loaded in cases trimmed to a shorter length in order to ensure the COL isn't too long for the cylinder. I get home and because I liked the Leverrevolution's accuracy so much, I looked up load data for the FTX bullet in Hornady's manual. After one box of 20, I decided not to shoot any more of those and went about my day. Again, more recoil than I expected from my load and somewhat sticky extraction. Finally, I shot my handloads with the 300 grain XTPs in the Hornady cases. Shot some of the Hornady Leverevolution and loved the accuracy I got from them. I warmed up with my light bullet loads and all was good. It was Hornady Leverevolution with 225 grain FTX bullets (plastic conical tip). Range day, I saw that my range had some factory.
So I loaded 40 of them in the newly once-fired Hornady cases. Since I also had 300 grain XTP bullets, I figured I would load up my own, which I know are softer shooting than Hornady's. But I figured Hornady isn't one to hotrod their ammo. Much more recoil than my handloads with the same bullet and very sticky extraction. So I bought some factory Hornady 300 grain XTP in. Hope this can help someone out in the future.Ĭlick to expand.Actually, I just recently (last month) encountered a situation where cases turned out to be very important. You would be better to start with the Hornady load data and work up from there. This by the way you have to account for many of the times since the exact boolit you're using may not be listed. Granted they're not using the same exact bullets but they are of equal weights and are all jacketed. The problem here is Hodgdon's starting weight for the 130gr bullet is nearly the max charge Hornady has for 125-130gr bullets. Hodgdon has separate weights of 125 and 130.ġ25gr simply has a starting weight of 15.7 and max of 18.5ġ30gr has starting weight of 17.1 and max of 18.6 Then for H110 they have a starting weight of 14.6gr working up by 1 grain increments to a max of 18.8. Hornady uses a range for bullet weights 125-130gr. 0005 trim length difference which realistically won't make any difference at all this is what they list. Primer = Winchester small rifle (this is a magnum primer by default)Īll things being equal except the. Primer = Remington 7 1/2, Small Rifle Magnum The load data testing parameters are as follows I have a 130gr boolit I'd like to try out for the 300 BLK. I have a 9th edition Hornady hard cover and also using Hodgdon reloading site. Some have speculated that the extra thickness is an attempt to stop the Glock Bulge but if this is the reason, it's sure created a bunch of other problems for a reloader.I know there are a few on the forum that are just starting out reloading so I wanted to point out the importance of having multiple sources for load data. In short, it seems like it's poorly made brass that's not meant to be reloaded unless you measure the ridge height, match up the cases, and then use an appropriate bullet. Last gripe posted on another forum I visit was the fact that the case heads are convex which could lead to light primer strikes. This could be a big problem when loading your pet load and then having a reduced volume when you get to a case with more "thick portion". This can lead to a stoppage that will just plain piss you off because now you have to go fishing for the "collar" left in the chamber.Īnother problem reported is that the "ridge" is not uniform in it's distance below the case mouth.
Those that are using a lot of it are reporting serious problems with the cases separating along the "ridgeline". This stuff is coming from a company named Freedom Munitions.
