Hey guys, im new to reloading, but been around MDS for a while. After causally reading up, and lurking the Reloading threads, I finally decided to start off with a straight wall cartridge. I am experimenting with 44 mag subsonics. Found about 11.8-12 grains of H110 and cast 300gr with magnum primers seem like a good start out of my Henry model X with Bushwacker 46. Sound like a basketball dropped from waist height, no crack. Accuracy seems to be on par with reman ammo (I’ll work on it when I can get outside to shoot and set up my chrony and lead sled)
Anyhow, I’ve noticed that some Sellior & Bellot brass is very hard to remove primers, and just as hard to press them in (only did 2 before I set aside…. I build car motors and gearboxes day to day, so when things “feel wrong” I don’t push it) anyone else notice this? Also, compared to the Remans I have fired, they seem HOT! And the primers look a bit flat…. Could that have something to do with the extra resistance? Looking forward to hearing thoughts, and appreciate any input!
