Has anybody tried the Ranier 100 grain bullet? It looks like a great possibility to me:
Reading the Midway reviews leads me to believe the plating on these is rather robust and will stand up to the velocities attained in the 7.65 Luger.
I am a veteran reloader for 45 years and many calibers. My very first caliber to reload was the 9mm Luger using a Lyman 310 tool!
I'm yet to try my hand with the 7.65 Luger. I have dies but have a hard time getting momentum because I think about chasing after those damn little expensive pieces of brass. Reading the various posts on this forum makes me want to give the little bottle neck a try.
Some additional questions:
Does the heavier bullet present a problem with sight regulation?
What's the downside to using the 100 grain bullet?
Does anybody have a "Pet Load" for the 7.65 using 100 grain bullets? I know the drill: Start low and work up. My mileage may vary.
Thanks in advance,
