Handloading 45acp ? - 10/13/19
Friend who shoots quite a bit of pistol says reloading isn't worth his time & he loads for all his rifles .
His reason - he says he doesn't have good luck with consistant cycling and especially doesn't have good luck with hollow point ammo .
He loads good stuff for his rifle they're accurate .
I was getting ready to order Dies about three weeks ago and changed my mind - i already bought 250 Magnus 230gr. HP's - he said ''they probably won't cycle through the gun'' .
He's not a ray of sunshine on reloading pistol .
Is it common to have to hunt for bullets [HP] that function correctly ? ?
Pistol is a Kahr cw45 and i've only shot winchester white box 230gr. FMJ and it is 100% reliable with one magazine - other magazine has had a fail to load a couple of time in 50-60 rounds .
I've saved my brass and have Accurate no.5 powder .
Should i buy some HP sample packs ?
Can seating and charges be ''tuned'' to get a handload to cycle ?
New to pistol handloading .
Thanks for any advice .
