Posts are drying up, no movement. New members here and nothing is said? There is much for all of us to learn. So who loads their own ammunition? Or why not?

When i had my .45 Gold Cup the reloads were high, way back in 1998 or near enough. .45 are great cases and i used them 30-40 times before they had any splits. In 9mm over the past i found the nickel cases split after about 5-10 reloads. I run some at around 1050 Ft/sec as minor loads with a CZ SP01 Shadow. Then some at 1380 ft/sec for major with my Czechmate. My minor loads using brass cases all brands last 25-35 reloads. My major loads 15-20.

So shooting it with a .32 is ok, many use the .22 or even .177 air pistol. I am advised are all getting older, not as strong a grip and not enough practice. With a .22 i shoot around 390ties, and with a 9mm, heavy pistol, one hand just high 200 of low 300. Two hands i do better, as you would. That's ISSF for you.

the weakly league we two rounds of PPC 22 and center fire (48 shots each) and two rounds of Bullseye 22 and center fire (30 shot NMC for each) I do two of four each weak one 22 and one center fire, use 38 or 44 or 45 for center fire. it a fun league you can shot all or just one don't matter just have fun!

Totally agree about having fun. However it is nice to see ones score increase over time. Skill comes from practice and having an accurate firearm. .45 or .44 for centre fire is upping the anti. Well done, i hate .22 and use .38 Super or 9mm. You have great skill if you can score using a .45, or a .44 at 25 yards.

When reloading my .38 super i use a 125grn projectile and as i use this to shoot major power factor i use 8.2 grns of a slow burning powder. Once i shot minor PF using same projectile and 3,5 grns of a faster burning powder. I also use an STI Trubor race gun. The pistol using Major PF has almost no muzzle flip, perfect.

I find Federal primers the absolute best. Then CCI or Fiocchi. With so many gun shops surely can't be that hard. From what i know it is cheaper in the States to buy 9mm and other ammunition that to reload. Powder (ADI) made in Australia is shipped in massive quantities to America, then rebranded. That leaves us short. So when primers and powder is available i (most people) usually buy 30,000 or 50,000 and poder in 8kg lots. That last an average shooter here 2/3 years+/-.
