i thought the chromed chamber & high press operating system was a perfect platform for my testing in the semi-auto. most other semi's require the small base dies; and these rounds will be used for hunting only. the plinkers will still get the full length treatment just because it's less tidious. as stated earlier, i have gained excellent results in my lever guns & revolvers without over working those cases during the resizing process. a noticable increase in case capacity was realized in the 357,41,44mags, with compressed H110 loads; the 45lc +p's being the exception. i have not reached a compressed charge with the H110 yet, but should be there soon. i figured the magnum primers were a no brainer. i would like to see the necks open a little more to seal the throat so i can get a good read on the pressure. i should get there before the web starts expanding enough to exhibit any extraction problems. so for, i'm pleased with the results.
i'm not looking for a hotrod 200gr load, but the velocity increase would be welcomed with a smile. and those 200gr all coppers from the "other" guys will bring an added deminsion on the terminal end. i may have those worked up too before ya'll thaw out
