Lot #:	1
Date:	17 Jun 2003
Caliber:	.44 Rem Mag
Primer:	Remington 2-1/2 (Large Pistol)
Powder: Alliant 2400
  Charge: 18.5 gr +- 0.1 gr; book lists 18.4 gr as min. load
Bullet: Gallenson's cheap 240 gr JHP
Brass:	PMC .44 Rem Mag, fired once
Notes: Lost one brass due to crumpling when seating the bullet; powder
  removed, primer needs to be detonated and removed.

  Need to reset de-priming die to flare case mouth more; excessive
  chamfering needed to make bullets seat easily.

  Other 2 dies set correctly for Gallenson's bullets and PMC cases;
  slight roll crimp at cannelure.

  Cartridge O.A.L. = 1.610" nominal; varies by 0.01" easily; a few
  cart. vary by 0.02" or 0.025"

  50 brass reloaded, 1 failure = 49 loaded rounds for testing

  1 reload had no powder; bullet stuck in bore - removed with cleaning
  rod from muzzle; primer residue very black, but easily wipes off
  brass; no visible damage to brass or gun - bullet "retired" due to
  damage from rod


Lot #: 2
Date: 21 June 2003
Caliber: .44 Rem Mag
Primer: Remington 2-1/2
Powder: Alliant 2400
  Charge: 19.5 gr +- 0.1
Bullet: Gallenson's cheap 240 gr JHP
Brass: GFL, fired once
Notes: Cartridge lengths more consistent, 1.610" target with <0.02"
  variation, and most cartridges slightly short.  Bullets seated at
  cannelure on all(?) rounds.

  Brass flared by de-priming die - bullet seating much easier; no
  chamfering needed to seat bullets

  50 brass reloaded, no problems in reloading.

  Range test:
    Bullets hard to chamber in rifle - more crimp and/or chamfer the
    outside of case before seating bullet.

    All cartridges worked just fine once chambered; no errors in
    reloading

    Loads felt like factory ammo; significantly stronger than lot #1

    Try 20 gr powder load, but likely will return to 19.5 gr as optimal
    mix of low-punishment and high-performance.



Lot #: 3
Date: 16/17 July 2003
Caliber: .44 Rem Mag
Primer: Remington 2-1/2
Powder: Alliant 2400
  Charge: 20.0 gr target, possibly 0.3 gr light
Bullet: 240 gr JHP el cheapo from Gallenson's (likely Win. bulk)
Brass: W-W Super, fired once
Notes: Catridge lengths not measured; seating depth set to cannelure as
  before. Crimp increased to ease chambering in rifle.

  Cases chamfered after flaring.

  Measurements of powder measure were 20.0 gr for first 3 measurements;
  weighs at 19.7 gr for last 3; no measurements in between.  Could be
  slight measurement error in loads at beginning or end. Checked zero
  of balance at beginning and end.  Loads could be lighting throughout
  batch...




Lot #: 4
Date: 18 Jul 2003
Caliber: .45 ACP

Powder: Alliant Unique
  Charge: 6.2 to 6.3 gr

  Taper crimped
  Brass not chamfered
  Dia. @ brass mouth 0.004" smaller than spec in Lyman Reloading manual

  OAL deviation of 0.002" - 0.006" (est. max)
  63 cartridges reloaded for testing

  Min. charge listed at 5.9 gr, max at 6.6; 6.3 likely should be good
  charge

Lot #: 5
Date: 19 Jul 2003
Caliber: .45 ACP
Primer: Remington 2-1/2
Powder: Alliant Unique

Lot #: 7
Date: 29 July 2003
Caliber: .44 Rem Mag
Primer: Rem 2-1/2
Powder: Alliant 2400
  Charge: 20.3 to 20.4 gr
Bullet: Rainier Ballistics 240 gr JHP
Brass: mixed, fired twice
Notes: All brass must be resized; one cart. not resized before bullet
  seating and bullet would not tightly seal.  Pulled bullet and powder,
  resized brass, and cartridge worked fine.

  50 cartridges reloaded

  OAL varies between 1.603 and 1.611; most between 1.607 and 1.610"


Lot #: 8
Date: 29 July 2003

Primer: Rem 2-1/2
Powder: Alliant Unique
  Charge: 6.3 +- 0.2 gr
Bullet: Rainier Ballistics 230 gr JHP
Brass: mixed, fired once or twice
Notes:
  OALs shorter than 230 gr FMJ cartridges; normally around 1.250 vs.
  1.275" target for FMJ.  Lyman book lists 1.250" target OAL for JHPs
  (185 gr though), so assume cartridges OK.

  Only 13 cartridges reloaded to add to the 37 of lot #5 for 50 carts.
  ready for testing; note lot #5 is 230 gr FMJ, not JHP.

Bullet: Rainier Ballistics 240 gr JHP
Brass: mixed, supplied by Dad
Notes: Black marks on bottom of brass indicate cartridges with OAL
  >1.620" or <1.600"; should work just fine, but be careful.

  Perhaps thin-walled cartridges, as needs heavy crimp to hold bullet
  after resizing.

  38 cartridges total; 1 brass taken for heavy loads (lot 11)

Bullet: 158 JHP, Gallenson's cheap ones
Brass: mixed brass color
