Just recently I've jumped slowly into reloading, and finally got to test out some loads at the range. Sorry in advance for the lack of pics.
9mm- 124gr Magtech fmj, Magtech small pistol primer, Winchester brass, and 5.0 grains of HP-38 powder. I've noticed this powder seems very clean out of my G19 and USP45 Tac, and with both pistols very accurate out to 100y once I figured out the drop. With the G19 I was able to hit a 11''x6'' steel plate.
45ACP- 230gr Magtech fmj, Magtech large pistol primer, Winchester brass and 5.0 grains of HP-38. Again very clean and accurate so far with the USP. Clipped a clay pigeon at 100y, My dad and I were surprised at that.
5.56- 55gr Hornaday fmj, Remington small primer, Lake City 09-11 brass, 25.5 grains H-Varget, OAL 2.233 inches. At 100y with the S&WM&P15 and ACOG the rifle averaged.75moa-1moa. At 200y it opened up to near 3moa, I think was mostly due to wind. It's good enough for me, will do some testing with 68gr bthp's when I pick up some more.
Over all it was a great time with my dad, he brought his Uberti 1873 cattleman single action BP I bought him for Christmas. 60 rounds from each gun except the BP pistol.
