Default RE: Another 45 LC question.

Well This didn't work to well. I went to the range today with some loads of 6.0 Grains of Tite Group with a taper crimp. I chronographed them and got reading from 385 fps to 610 fps. I had some backed out primers and totally incomplete burning of the powder. I suspect a few thing here, the loads are to light and are detonating rather than burning the powder. There is not enough powder in the case for decent ignition, or they need a roll crimp to hold the bullet longer for better ignition. A magnum primer might help if the poor ignition is due to just not enough powder.

I chronographed some Ultra Max CAS 200 grain loads, they checked out at 626 fps. I also chronograph ed some 225 grain Remington LSWC's which were very consistent @844 FPS.
