Hi Folks
Reloaded some ammo based on Brian Pearce pet loads article in Hand loader Magazine. Using 85 grain xtp bullet , 3.6 gr & 4.0 gr of AA2 & COL from article.
Also loaded 100 gr xtp at 5.5 gr and 6 gr of true blue. Took those along with Georgia Arms 85 gr factory loads to the range.
Maiden voyage for Charter Arms professional revolver with 3" barrel. All went well with Factory loads and AA2 loads.
After inspection I noticed True Blue loads seemed to have deeper primer strikes with one pierced primer on 5.5 grain load.
According to Brian's article 5.5 grains is a mid level load. Plenty to think about !!
Will begin by reducing that load to 5.2 grains and then try some other primers on both loads.
Any constructive input would be appreciated
