Thanks for the link to the Microscope.  That looks like it could be pretty handy.

I've loaded 180gr XTP's with up to 11gr Blue Dot with no issues.  it is a fun load to shoot, very accurate.  These were shot out of a Gen 2 Glock 20

I went to a Redding profile die and opened the flash hole .001". All my unburnt powder issues went away which improved the ES and SD (10-12).

After trial and error with various powders, OAL, primers, etc; I settled on the following load for hunting (for now):

Bullet: Hornady 158 gr XTP HP
Case: Starline 1.285"
Primer: WSPM
Powder: 300-MP 20.5 grains
O.A.L: 1.575"
Velocities: Average 1626 fps
Five shot group size at 25yards: 5 @ 3/4"

Now time to start working up target loads for my GP100.

I bought some 300-MP a while back and haven't tried it yet.  I will have to load some 158's with it to try in my Dan Wesson.  Thanks for the report.

i have an old food dehydrator that has been sitting in the garage that I haven't used in years.  Like you, I saw that they are now selling the same exact devices as brass dryers.  I wet tumbled some 223 brass a couple of weeks ago and put in the dehydrator.  Worked like a charm!

I procrastinated and procrastinated on starting to reload. But then I got my first .357 Mag pistol. I saw how much cheaper it was to feed it full power loads, and even better for how little I could make a box of .38 special DEWC as practice fodder for it. Now if there are dies for it and I own it, I reload it. Only stuff I do not reload for is .22 LR.

What gets me is how much cheaper I can make 10mm than buy it for.

Getting into reloading is something that I will never look back on and say "I wish I hadn't done that".
