One more point is that my v-crown were a 500 count and the  DoubleK group was 1000. Just a headsup and they are out of stock today. You must check every day if you need rounds.  Craig

Shot some 115g v-crown today that shot great so I loaded the same with 125g. The powder is AA5 at 6.1g.Perfect load the115g for the S@W CSX. This gun is very light and small but perfect for carry. This load shot light but worked all the slides and was very accurate. Craig

Shot the 125g loads with 6.1g AA5 and it went very good. I was shooting the FN 509, the S&W CSX and the Glock 34. I was real happy with the round as there was not excessive recoil at all. It will be the round untill tomorrow when the Power Pistol arrives. I will use these rounds at the range until the AA5 is gone like a few thousand rounds or so.  Craig

Absolutely, I just can?t not clean them after a range trip, I really need to get past that

I used to be like that.

My guns all looked brand new almost all the time.

Now, they look good, but a bit fouled and dirty.
This post checked by independent fact checkers, and they're all pissed off about it.

This seller on GB fairly often has some interesting bullet deals too. Typically there could be some sorting and/or culling involved. He usually has unbranded Lone Wolf Glock barrels too. 10mm, 9x25, 357sig etc

Here is a current example of a solid 10mm/40sw bullet deal. $0.06 for Federal .400 dia FMJ mix.

Buying pulled bullets can offer some really good values. Generally after sorting I polish the bullets in corn media with Lucas additive. They look new and it removes all the tarnish pretty quickly.

Well I received the 5 lbs of Power Pistol today and have loaded up 50 124g v-crown at 6.1g as I have loaded this round for 40 years or so. It is nice to have the right stuff for a change.  Craig

Just did 50 115g just for fun testing at also at 6.1g. I did notice that aa5 at 6.1 only weights 4.3g so I had to change the powder drop for the power pistol. Does that make cease? I may be confused on this. Craig

You need to adjust for volume for every powder. They are all different. The powder drop doesnt know weight only volume.

well now that makes sense. Oh shot the Power Pistol rounds today and they were perfect as expected. I couldn't be happier. Craig

Just found some 95g projectiles I forgot I got for reloading 380. Loaded some up to test in 9mm with the 6.1g Power Pistol should be fun and light to shoot. Craig
