Re: Home Grown SS 190

Like I said I would be happy with the 5.9-6.0 loads but after checking the cases and pulling the prim...

Re: Home Grown SS 190

I tested the ss190 loads I have been developing. I used once shot brass, true blue powder, CCI 400 small rifle primers. Loaded 5 each @ start: 5.5-6.3 increased by.1. The 5.5-5.7 felt weak, the 5.8 5.9 were fine, no signs of over pressure, at 6.0 started flattening the primers a bit. by 6.2 started ...

Re: Home Grown SS 190

I typed wrong, I meant .1 grains at a time. But I will start @ 5.5 and work up. At least now I have a good starting point, and some background on max and near max. Thanks.

Re: Home Grown SS 190

Any load data for the 190 bullet and true blue? I was going to try 6.3 grains than work up 1 grain at a time and check for pressure signs.
