What are you reloading for pistols

[mustangfreek]

We have another thread about rifle loads/discussion and another post I seen and didn't want to derail to bad.
So let's talk about what pet loads/HD loads for pistol, load info, chrono info.

Post up your questions , setups , etc..

Yes! That is a royal pain in the ass that someone somewhere didn't make all the brass the same primer pocket size. I will look around and see if I can buy .45 brass that is all small primer... that said I did buy a box or two of large pistol primers so I am covered for a while... at least a few thousand rounds...

Speaking of that I am hoping any day now I get my stamp for my 9mm can. Once I get that I will work up about 1000 9mm subs using some 147gr bullets that I've had sitting around for a while.

What host, what can, what bullets and what powder?

45 ACP
230g Hornady FMJ
5.5g W231
200g SWC IDP#1
5.5g W231 or
4.8g WST

44 Special
200g SWC
7.4g Unique

Don't do 9mm

Been awhile since I loaded 38 / 357 / 44 Mag - will need to look them up in my diary.

What host, what can, what bullets and what powder?

I have a Griffin Revolution 9 in jail about to be out on bail any day I hope.

The host... I have two so far (that I already have threaded barrels for)...a P226 and a CZ75...

My powder is Hogdon Universal and I have about 1000 something 147 grain bullets laying around here somewhere...I worked up and chrono'ed a load already but I can't recall off the top of my head the exact amount of grains of powder. If I am not mistaken it's like 3.3 grains or something along those lines. I need to find my notes.

Nice list there Former..never used titewad , but see a lot available locally..have some tite group to play with once I run low on others or whatnot

Right now mainly using WSF for my 9mm loads, tried it in 45acp but wasn't quite as happy

9mm all supers no cans so haven't played with subs

147 gr extreme RN
4 grains at 1.135

124gr extreme RN
4.9 grains at 1.140

45 acp
200 gr & 230 gr rn extreme plated
Last loads were with bullseye have to dig up the numbers
