Default .312 lswc

Gardner's Cache web site. I finally traded my other ones in. .12 cents a bullet now, still cheap. The OAL that I came up with for dummy loads feed in and eject by hand with the .312 is 1.0875. Crimp at the second ring above the purple ring. Feeds and ejects perfect by hand.........the range will tell..........more to follow. and Yes it is a 32 bullet. My barrel slugs at .3095. A DWM 1925 does not have the best barrel. I am use to looking down custom 45 barrels. This pistol is in excellent condition except the inside of the barrel has pits and the grooves are wone alittle. Corrisive ammo. The .3095 LRN I was using was OK>>>>> But I think that with the extra .002 it will grab the rifling better for better accuracy. Also in my middle 50's and the site's on one of these are the smallest V site I've ever seen. But then they were made for point and shoot, not target shooting. Also to carry. I will use the same 5.5 of SR 4756 I was using. I do not think that will be to much. With the 90gr it was fine and pretty accurate......NO over pressure good feeling ejection with that load and crack of the shot. I tried the 1.14 and it would hang up on the feed ramp, the top ring was exposed.

Interesting...One man operation; only takes orders for 2 hours every couple of weeks...$35 for 500 100gr .312" SWC...Sold in boxes of 500...

Too many for me... I'd never shoot even 250 in my R&G revolver...
