Wink Almost cute are they not?

Hi all, a bit ago I decided to load for the 9mm and ordered everything I needed to cast bullets and load for the little critter. I got everything but the die set that's still on backorder so I figured I could cast up some of the RCBS-9mm-124-CNs to get ready. Well they threw at .359 diameter and 130.1 grains with COWW alloy so I figured that whilst I am waiting for my 9mm die set I would size some up at .358" and give em a go in .38 Special. Loaded some up same load as the ones in the pic and ran them through my neutered M-64 with good results, light recoil and good accuracy. Well I thought these may make a good trigger time J frame snubby load so I'm going to run em through my M-442 as it has the best trigger and sights (for me) Monday morning. Boy I tell ya, the things you do with too much spare time on your hands!

My J frame loves a 125gr lead pushed with 4.0grs of Bullseye or 231 and 4.4 grs of Universal clays, for a Lite target load.

I can go through these all day long and still want more. They actually have less recoil than a 148gr and shoot just as well.

Default It's amazing....

It's amazing how necessity makes us adapt. I put some 9mm popgun rounds through my .38. Fun novelty!
