This marks week two of reloading. This week I'm working up rounds using Longshot powder by Hodgdon. 10 of each in 9.5, 9.8, 10.0, 10.3, and 10.5 grain.
I plan on loading up the rest (close to 1000 rounds) with the lowest grain that feels the best (and accurately cycles the action). The less powder I use, the more rounds I can get out of a pound.
I liked the TiteGroup powder (also by Hodgdon) and the recoil from it. However, I plan on using the TiteGroup for the .357 Magnums (which I've yet to work up) so I'll save that for later.
Here's a shot of my new friends, eagerly awaiting their destiny with a paper target tomorrow.
