JHP	3.6 gr	Trail Boss	715 fps	1.205"	Win LPM	guest
JHP	This is a low-recoil, low velocity round. It averaged 705 to 710 fps. I have fired 100s of rounds on the indoor Combat range at St. Joseph (Missouri) Total Range using both Rainier’s jacketed flatnose and hollowpoint 200-grain bullet. 3.5grains resulted in 100% function in my Glock 30, but the empties seemed to fall between me and the pistol. With 3.6 grains, ejection was adequately forceful. As for the primers, the only large pistol primers at my dealer’s were the Winchester Magnum Large Pistol primers and that is what I worked the load up with. I have found that I need to keep the firing pin clean as well as the slide where the firing pin rides and where it penetrates to the primer. Negelect here caused misfires due to striking residue and softening the blow to the primer. Email author: scullr See all of scullr's loads

LSWC	This load uses the Lyman 452460 SWC mould, using 4 parts wheelweights to one part linotype. I shoot them as cast with moly lube in the grease grooves. It is a real tack driver through my Thompson, and works good in a 1911 as well. Email author: palmerrb See all of palmerrb's loads
