I’ve surfed the web looking for 6.8 loads with Win 748 as thats the only powder I could find at the time. I’ve included the loads in this post. I’ve only tested 29 grains in a 120 SST bullet. However Ive found the load consistently hits high and right vs factory Hornady rounds. I’ll keep looking for some H322.

What an FMJ looks like not on a bullet
Strange 1911 Malfunction
Today at the range I was shooting and experienced an odd malfunction on my commander size (4″) Springfield 1911.
The last round in the standard springfield 7 round mag locked the slide back, but the empty brass got stuck in the magazine. I was able to remove the mag and flip the brass out but I can’t figure out how it happend. The only thing different today was that particular magazine had small pistol primer 45 ACP that I loaded this morning. I usually load large pistol primer, but I had a bunch of small primer brass.




Chrony F1 Master Results
Yesterday I took out the Shooting Chrony F1 Master Chronograph and got some good data points. For those who don’t know, a shooting chronograph measures the feet per second your bullet is traveling. You probably will never *need* to know this, but it gives me more information on my reloads.
From my Remington 700 with a 26″ barrel – 7mm Rem Mag, Midway 154gr – 2811 FPS, Hornady 139gr SST – 3014 FPS, and factory Power-Point 175gr round pushed 2929 FPS.
On a side note, I’m very happy with the stock upgrade. Emily and I shot great groups with it.
I only chronographed 9mm in pistol yesterday, but it’s neat to come pare with the rifle. How much different they really are. 9mm 124gr Precision Delta loaded with Win 231 gave me 1100 FPS out of the PPQ, and closer to only 1000 FPS out of my PX4(with a shorter barrel)
I shot a couple of my carry PDX 147 rounds from the PX4, and they are around 850FPS. I may switch to the 124gr +P.
I need to pickup the Chrony printer. My only gripe about this product was other than me writing it down, or typing it into my phone, there is no way to save the data.
