Polaris hit the nail on the head. Crimp. Don't know why, don't know how, but the 19 needs a lot more crimp with the berrys.
It just made no sense why the other pistols did not have issue with it, but there ya go....
Thanks for your help all
Good questions.
Dwh: I went as high as 5.7 in the 9mm and down to as low as 4.9 No diffrence. Thought it was the powder, so I went with the standby CFE and across the board, jams.
Polaris: mainly not extracting and double feeds. No stovepipes. I will try that powder.
Wyano: yup. The first...
Morning guys. Got a debacle going on. That is, for whatever reason, I am getting malfunctions with my Clays/Berry bullets combo. The S&W, and the Springfield eat them up, but not the G21 or the G19. I tried using CFE and other powders with the same negative results.
With that, what bullet...
Too funny guy. That is how I started but thought mabey I was doing it wrong so I opted for a drill and torch.
I was annealing them after the fourth round. I was worried about neck tension so i did not do them any sonner than the fourth firing. i have been having some weird pressure spikes with...
Howdy, I was wondering where you get your bulk 55g FMJ pinking bullets for your AR platforms? I use to use Natches, however their service went downhill last time I used them.
Now I need another 12k and am looking for another source.
Thanks
One of the biggest mistakes I made when I was really getting into it, was loading for max or close to max COAL, or rather COAL for the rifle.
Like you, I have a rifle that I like to shoot. Its the love of the my gun cabinet. And its the one that gives me the most grief. I took a step back...
So I made it to the range (Plywood backing for a target holder and a fir tree for a rest) today and made some 100 yard shots.
I used 50.5g of varget for the VLD's and 55.0 g of IMR-4350 with the AB's. All loads were primed with CCI large rifle primers. I cut the powder charge of the...
Good info.
I got some Hunting VLD's to baseline what the fella said was most accurate in this Remington.
I will compare them with the AB's and Partitions I normally use. I am not looking for a 500+ yard -06 so if the grouping is the same or close at 300 yards, I will be sticking with the...
Thanks for the info. I actually called them today. Told me to try the hunting version first.
Guy is 100% spot on. the CS rep at Berger said the exact same thing.
Once again this site has become a valuable resource.

Hi guys, I am looking for some options on a rifle I bought last year.
It was a custom -06 and it has a McMillian stock. It has a factory camo finish that looked like a toddler painted it. So I went to the local hydrodipper/decorator and the new finish look good, but scratches fairly easily...
I know this is not a Nosler question, but I bought a custom 30-06 last year, and the load development the previous owner came up with was with VLD bullets.
SO off to Cableas to buy some. Then low and behold, there are target, hunting, hybrid and one other that I can't remember.
I tried to get...
We had the exact rifle. It did very well with 94.5g of Retumbo and a 200g AB.
We got ride of it because of the recoil it had. Of the 4, its recoil was not manageable. Now, looking back I think all it needed was to be bedded or have something done to the recoil lug area.
Does that rifle...
