Last night I used 615 grains of powder, for just 15 rounds. Handgun loads, too! I created ladder loads for my 460 S&W, the max charge was 43 grains of Alliant 2400, behind a Hornady 200gn FTX bullet. Should be good for ~ 2100 fps.
Holy Sh!t !!
I think that would kill an intruder by heart attack even better than an M44 carbine! A directional (sort of) flash bang. Awesome. I won't shoot it though. Or be at ground zero when you do.

I use a black n decker toaster oven set at 350 degrees for 20 minutesThey came out nice. For the powder coating what temp oven do you have to use?
I was thinking you must've gone to lubed lead last time I saw you shoot.Got tired of the smoke

I run mine at 400 (according to the knob) for 20.They came out nice. For the powder coating what temp oven do you have to use?
Everything you want to know about powdercoating can be found here:Hey fellows, I for one would like to learn the procedure you go through to powdercoat these bullets. Anyone care to maybe make a post on a "How to"
Since I'm stuck at home on medical leave...I've loaded thousands of 9mm...and every 223 case I could dig up. Now I'm reduced to shooting a couple hundred a day...so I can clean the cases and load them again that night.
Get well soon!Since I'm stuck at home on medical leave...I've loaded thousands of 9mm...and every 223 case I could dig up. Now I'm reduced to shooting a couple hundred a day...so I can clean the cases and load them again that night.
Let me get back to work and start getting paychecks again, and I'll get back with you. I'll need to get more powder, primers, and projectiles...lol.I got 556 cases if you need some.
Hope you heal up soon.

I was at 4.6gr with bayou's 180gr. 1.178 OAL 170pfCleaned up my reloading room and reorganized it. Tumbled about 3k of .40 brass. Loaded up another couple hundred lucky 13 190gr bullets then I loaded 20 rounds each of 4.7, 4.8, and 4.9 clean shot behind a 180gr Zero bullet.
I"m looking for 175PF. The gun seemed to run better at a little higher PF. We'll see if the new one does as well.I was at 4.6gr with bayou's 180gr. 1.178 OAL 170pf
