  1. I did different charge weights up to max load. Looking back at the target now I see the last set of 5 rounds did rise 2-3" but the group opened up so I didn't really pay attention. I posted this on a different forum and it was suggested that recoil and muzzle rise probably played a big part. Factory loads being a higher velocity and creating more recoil and muzzle rise. This makes sense now after re-evaluating the target.   Anyone have any suggestions for some better powders. I just picked up a pound of IMR3031 to try.
  2. Been loading pistol ammo for about a year, 9mm and .380 mostly. Moved on to my 30-30 a few weeks ago. I got out this weekend and tried them out. I sighted the rifle in with factory Remington core lokt 150 gr at 100 yards. Moved on to my plated xtreme 150 gr and some Speer HCSP 150 gr. POI is 6" low for both loads using IMR 4064. I am trying to understand why my reloads are shooting 6" lower than factory. Just to make sure that it was not a fluke, I shot 5 more rounds of factory after the reloads and sure enough they hit POA   Any insight would be appreciated.
  3. Im in for 8 lbs Autocomp.
  4. I debated between these two pistols as well. I shot a M&P 22 at the range and liked it. I held the SR22 at the store and liked it. My 9 yr old son was the deciding factor. The SR22 was a perfect size and fit. After taking it to the range and shooting it I am very happy with the decision. I have only had 2 FTF and that was some old questionable federal laying around for years. Myself, son and wife have put 1000 + through it and enjoy it very much.
  5. My first reloads were a few months ago with 115 fmj and 700x. I started at 4.0 and worked my way up to 4.4 and settled at 4.4 with OAL of 1.135. Since then I have done 180 more at 4.4 1.135 and they have functioned great in my SAR, M&P and my XD. That load data came from a Spear manual. I had a hard time finding data for 700x so I bought a lb of Autocomp. Loaded a few thousand rounds with that and I am pretty happy with it so far.
