Badman bullets are made in Lebanon and T&B are made in Sweet Home. Both are good bullets.

I did not know that, another local business to support. I'm only 30 min away from T&B and Badman would be even closer to me in Lebanon. I'll check them out too.Badman bullets are made in Lebanon and T&B are made in Sweet Home. Both are good bullets.
Got started on the WC's this afternoon and had to reset the die's to fit the wittle munchkin cases.
Took some time to adjust the flairing die due to the variances in case lengths, the the seating die was a no brained but the Lee factory crimp took some time to dial in with inert test cases of course.
And of course this caliber/bullet combination has a recipe for TiteGroup.
I'm lazy and loathe changing powders unless it's changing to rifle calibers.
The book calls for 2.6-3.3g so I went with 2.8g seated to the last grove then a mild/med crimp.
I loaded 24 test rounds for a pistol/rifle range day tomorrow.

I like economical.In my opinion those are the ugliest bullets I have ever touched.
That being said I have loaded thousands of them. And shot a bunch of them Wednesday.
Make neat little holes in the target if I do my part.
3.1 grains of AA #2 gets about 2300 rounds per pound. Very economical.
But, butt ugly.
Hey! I resemble that remark!Agreed, almost seems that there is something missing with them, right?
I may try a couple of strings with bull's-eye along with A#2.
If yer shooting paper targets these are the shizzle, big ole holes that even the geriatric crowd can see without binoculars.
By the way? The shizzle? That's sounding like Snoop Dog? Cavemen don't know about that stuff?I like economical.

Well the Mod squad does have the ban hammer so I better not cross that line like I did on the Taurus Armed forum, AGAIN.By the way? The shizzle? That's sounding like Snoop Dog? Cavemen don't know about that stuff?
We will be using social credit scoring soon!Well the Mod squad does have the ban hammer so I better not cross that line like I did on the Taurus Armed forum, AGAIN.
I am definitely tettering on the edge if that happens. I did take several WorkSource workshops when I thought I was going to be transitioning into a new career and it made it abundantly clear to me how out of touch with the new social norms I am.We will be using social credit scoring soon!

I agree. Looks like the caster left part of the bullet in the mold. But they do make nice clean cut holes in paper targets. Not the easiest to use with speed loaders, though.In my opinion those are the ugliest bullets I have ever touched.

I was shooting at 10 yards, my normal distance.I think I found a good shooting load.
First one is the wadcutters, I shot low twice but the other ones hit their mark. Zoom in on the 2x4 just below the target.
The second pic is practice time with my 9mm load that I mass produced last year.
