    67degF, mixed LC, CCI450, 2000MR 27.6gr gave me 2850 fps and good groups. 27.8 gave 2880 but had some swipes.

    Just got my first revolver in over a decade, GP100 in .357. Long time RMR fan, love the In House line in .224, 9, 10, 45.

    Couldn’t find a lot of info on using the Lee FCD with these, so I did some testing. New Starline brass, S&A small pistol primers, IMR4227. Crimps w FCD at Full, 3/4, and 1/2 turn. Used Hodgdon’s data for the 146JHP, 15.2, 15.5, and 16 (book max) grains.

    The 3/4 and full crimps showed no creep at max charges.
    The 1/2 crimp showed creep with 2 rounds after 5 max charge recoils, 0.001 and 0.003″. Inconsequential to this new revolver reloader. That was 2 out of about 10 rounds in that position.

    That said, the grouping on the full crimp was about 2″ at 25yds. Great stuff!

    Many thanks to the Jake and the RMR crew!

    Double post. I missed the existing section for the 115MPR. Apologies…

    Glock 17.5 w a bunch of mods.
    Powder: 5.7gr MP165 from American Reloading (says to use BE86 data)
    Primer: CCI500
    Brass: mixed used
    COAL: 1.033″
    Velocity per labradar: right at 1200fps
    Grouped just over 1″ for 3 shots, shot supported.

    Velocity/pressure ladder with Alliant 2000MR with Labradar
    16″ barrel AR, CLE type chamber
    LC brass (mixed year)
    COAL 2.255″
    Light crimp, 1/4 turn Lee FCD
    No compressed charges

    Grains/Velocity
    26.8/2782
    27.0/2822
    27.2/2873
    27.4/2873
    27.6/2886
    27.8/2905
    28.0/2927
    28.2/2922
    28.4/2923

    Looks like the velocity flattened out 28.0-28.4. No swipes. Primers all looked fine. Case head measurements were consistant with pre-fired.

    ***Information only, what works in my rifle may not work in yours.***

    Will post some accuracy info after I shoot for groups.
