It dosent work with the 200gr plated worth a shit. I have over 100 pulls to do
the plated does work fine with 7.5 longshot
Also my 9mm load worked great- 6gr aa#7 under the extreme 147 plated rn.
So 2 out or 3 aint bad lol
Gonna make up a few hundred of that.
The 124 plated rn will get here soon

Trail Boss is of course a Black Powder loading band aid. It is not intended for high performance semi-auto handguns. If you are loading for your S&W #3 .44 Russian it is fine. It has a very low pressure spike and can not be depended on to cycle a slide.
Try Long shot or some other powder intended for modern auto-pistols. The bullets are not the problem.
Yep. Got a little workout today
Tb works great with lead. (But the speer lead I picked up left streaks in my glock. Looks like my 1911 will be seeing a lotta use.)
Since it came in 5# I figured id try something to burn it up.
And matter of fact I reloaded those pulls with 7.5 longshot

I like Winchester 231 it will do about anything you need in a .45.
I use TB in my 300blk bolt action loads and for .303 plinking rounds.

I pulled the rounds with trailboss and ran the cases thru the expander die, the steel cases were pretty wallowed out. I could seat the bullets up to the crimp by hand. The brass wasnt like that.
Still havent reloaded the steel from the pulls but when I do I will test for setback
I have a pretty good crimp on them. Likely preventing setback

Set back is always a danger in reloading steel cases. The steel may lack the elasticity needed to provide constant friction on the projectile. I have not loaded them. I have seen articles which recommend using an adhesive to reduce the chance of set back. If I were to experiment loading a straight wall case, I would use a cannelure tool.
Scored some unique. Stuff meters poorly without some vibration
Its consistent now

The quality of the powder measure must also be accessed when powder metering is questioned.
Ive seen others report metering variances with the better equipment, not just the lowly lee

Different powder will meter differently some times from one measure to another. I use a LEE for some less critical loading. For my 1,000 meter loads I use the RCBS one pound measure. It is a very consistent measure.
