"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer." -- Benjamin Franklin, /The Encouragement of Idleness/, 1766

I can't justify it to myself either.

Just finished casting 15 pounds of 148gr DEWC in less than an hour and not a single bad one! Those 6-pack Lee moulds work GREAT! I'll start loading them with 700X and work a new load for my S&W 19 starting at 2.5gr to 3.6 never exceed. Do you have any other data on 700X? I can't find a 9mm 124gr SWC load using 700X.

Ill hunt around a bit in a few minutes. Have you seen this yet? Works quite well.

LOL. I have a cartoon "I work for myself. But the boss is a jerk, and I'd quit if I didn't think the place would close if I left."

I think the powder is too fast. (Too little powder, too much space) (inconsistent burn) Think Blue Dot. It is very consistent in

9mm. If you are thinking about unjacketed bullets in standard 9mm barrels, the 1 to 10 twist is too fast without using lino-type to prevent leading of the barrel. I suggest rebarrelling to 1 in 16 and then lead works fine. Been there and done that. Steve

It is better to be a tool user than a tool collector if you are running a business.

Maybe you should buy a CNC Sherline to play with at home? Just trying to help you out. :)

You have to cut Buerste some slack. It can't be easy being a butch lesbian, in a small town like Cleveland. ;-)

I did see loads for 700x in 9mm. I do have some hard lead, I do have other powders but I have a LOT of 700x. Rebarreling isn't a wallet option.
