I finally got some proper lighting installed in my work area in the garage. Now I just need a task light on the bench and I'll be in business.
I've been tinkering with this 200 gr Berry's plated flat point load for 45 ACP. My last attempt, 5.0 gr of HP 38 cycled reliably with consistent ejection but the cases are still sooty. I'm bumping that to 5.4 and will load up 20. If that looks good, I'm locking the recipe down and will make up a couple of boxes.
At the rate I've been developing this load, it will be done by 2025.
My next project will be to buy a revolver, thinking S&W 629, to have another expensive cartridge to reload.
