My cast bullets...in .40 and .45...worked very well. No leading issues in the Para Ordnance, Colt, Sig, or Glock. No feeding issues, either. I haven't checked the acurracy of the loads from a bench, but I can shoot the red out of the bulls eye at 35 ft... my buddy does a bit better. This may not be up to other's standards and I know its not very scientific but, it works for me!
Hey, I've been at this for , like, 3 weeks...?
I have a metal note book(really! the covers are aluminum) that I keep the load data and date info in. Just powder, grains, bullet grains, OAL,...nothing elaborate. My brass is mixed. (is this bad?) Chronograph...no. I'm just a hobbiest. No plans to compete in any IPSC events too soon, though I may down the road. Cockiness is not in my nature...just excited when " a plan comes together". Perhaps I'll keep a little more detail in my notes...just in case.
Thanks for the info and encouragement. I'll let you know how my .40's turn out. May the force be with you.
