planeflyer21 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Another thing is this (which I have a hard time with): other people have tried it already-if they say it isn't a good idea, don't do it.Even though I had some great loads worked up (all my work-ups are done on a single stage press) with 9mm and Red Dot, people on forums, reloading manuals, and people in person said "Don't use large flake powders like Red Dot with auto-presses...you get very inconsistent powder charges!"Heh...that was them, not me.Checked the first 20 rounds or so for powder, all looked good, so I cranked out 100 rounds of 9mm with what was supposed to be my awesome load. Ran a bunch through my pocket 9 and they didn't feel good. Looked at the empty cases and some primers looked like they were now large and flat primers.Crap.Took them home and pulled the remaining 90+ rounds, weighing the charge on each. Weights ranged from 2.2gr up to 4.2 gr of Red Dot.So now when people tell me "That's not such a good reloading idea," I listen.Still proving them wrong with electricity though! <thumbsup>Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
