Ps.. Forgot to mention... The hodgdon data called for small rifle primers... And that's what I used. Hope they fire! 😉
Loaded some 30 super carry
Finally got around to loading up some test rounds for 30 super carry.
There is woefully little published data for this still very new cartridge.
Used titegroup 90gr data. Loaded with some hard 93 gr projectiles I use for 327 mag/32 HR mag.
Charge range data was 3-4 gr for 90gr jhc bullets. ( 100gr jhc was 3 - 3.6gr ).
So I decided to load up a few at 3 and a few at 3.4. I never get good results on semi auto at minimum loads.. But 3 on a 93 is technically a hair above that min data... Then again..im running lead not jacketed..albiet hard lead that has done fine in a 327 fed mag.. Which is the rimmed brother to 30 super carry, pressure wise..
Velocity should be in the 1100-1200 fps range.
We will see....
I might have to break down and buy jwords for this thing if I can't figure out happy lead data. So..hoping test goes good for cycling slide..AND not leading.
Feed should be ok. The RN profile seems to like the feed ramp just fine..and I have the taper crimp seemingly perfect using the barrel as a plunk tester.
Hopefully will get out tomorrow after lunch to test.
Almost forgot the pics. Here are some next to a jfn factory.

You have to buy them usually.
Cast I can make easily...but lacking the multitude of swage setup $$gear$$ to make bullet jackets.. I hafta buy them..and jacketed projectiles can be pricey. 23-50c each, not counting shipping.. depending.. Vs cast lead that costs me about 1.55$ per 7000 grains..meaning..an average 158gr 38spl projectile costs me about 3.5c to make.. Call it 4 cents when lubed. I just checked powder Valley.. 158gr fmjfn 38/357 would be 28 c each..or 35c shipped.
I'll take 4c over 35c any day!
