1,350? That's it?

Girl loads be girl loads

Getting a 200 grain slug to that speed is pretty fair if you ask me. I have a few more to test, just haven't got around to it. Looking to see what happens the closer I get to 14 grains...

 

[Benchrest]

I jest

I've only just started with 200 / 220 slugs out of the G20 - 1,350 is impressive.

Hair under 800 ft lbs with a 155 is nice though

Those 155s fly with a good powder charge. We were close to 2000-2200fps with the carbine in 10mm back at TNW if I recall.

I'm loading my 300blk with a 90gr XTP bullet and 4.4grs of trailboss,very quite and should be good for varmints.

LOL!!!
You guys remind me of the old story about, necking a .375 H&H magnum down to an old style phonograph needle!
Only goofy stuff I ever did was pursuing hot .357 loads. Took me ten years but I finally cracked the forcing cone! When my buddies saw it they came up with the clever idea that, now I could shoot and cook my dinner all at once! Clever sods!

Had some fun pushing 125gr XTP's out of my Henry around 2000fps.

.357 Mag of course.

I received and old 1917 Colt .45 ACP in a trade years ago and I read where 30-06 and .45 ACP brass had the same basic measurements. I took some 30-06 brass and cut it off 1/8th" shorter than the cylinder of the Revolver, then using .410 wads, #6 shot and some 2400, I loaded up some dandy "snake" (and other thing) loads.

I have done the same thing they work great.

How does this work? are you swaging them to .308 diameter first?

They are .309 dia out of the box.

Graduated from "Too close to the sun 10mn go-boom-boom" and started a class on "300blk for the wrong reason" 2.0.

Loaded and tested up to 19.0 grains H110 in front of a 150 grain spitzer. CCI 400s 2.26". Still some room in that case too.

well i screwd up once when reloading from the hodguns yearly manual i loaded up some 40S&W using a 10mm recipe in my Chief special 40 pistol. Amazingly no damage but when i started taking the ammo apart the mistake was clear as day. Had more recoil than normal. I was amazed i did not destroy the pistol. Does having a short barrel help out on reducing pressure? One lucky sob.

I'm no expert, but if it was a slower burning powder, yes. Likely threw the bullet out before burning all of the powder.

Two things I tried "just cuz". Hollow based wadcutters seated up side down as a SD round. Penetration would be zero. All bullet energy would be expended in the target. Would not travel through too many walls if a miss.
Sabot rounds. 22cal bullets with a plastic sleeve around them, loaded into a 30-06 case. Bullet comes out at over 4K fps. Accuracy was terrible.

If memory serves, lots of folks used to do the backward-HBWC thing, I think Ayoob mentioned it in a couple of his books.

.22 sabot might be helped if it had fins, as the sabot rounds fired from an Abrams do. (APFSDS = Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot)

half a grain a punkin spice per pow, because that's the way I say bubblegum you.
patent yawn

.45-70 with blackpowder out of my Marlin Guide Gun with a ported barrel. Smokey! I'll have to reload more of those someday.
