Completed the WC reloads
Will test in it's intended handgun, my 627 PC snubnose tomorrow. Low recoil, quick f/u shots
Should be similar results in my short barrel GP100 Wiley Clapp

About to prep some 556 LC brass also got in some SMK 77 grain .224 heads, maybe will try to clone the MK262 round.  Anyone tried this before? I know Johnny's Reloading Bench channel on youtube did a bunch of videos on it.

difficult to get the velocities with commercial powders. I clocked them going 2900 fps. I tried ARCOMP, RL15 and Varget up to 2700 ~ 2750. It gets pretty hot after that - primers going flat

That is true even Johnny had a difficult time getting the same velocities, but I think the powder used in the factory loads are blended.  I have the sierra reloading manual and will reloading around to that.  Currently I have only Varget on hand for powers.  What would be a middle load for Varget?

I ran out of Varget awhile back and never restocked. I don't recall what I used.  Idid start here: https://whiteoakprecision.com/info/reloading/ I use RL15 and ARCOMP with AR COMP being able to push the 77s faster at a lower charge weight than RL15. Did you try this tool: https://grtools.de/doku.php Usual disclaimer: start low and work up. You are responsible for your own load development. Watch for pressure signs. 77s in 223 usually shoot well around 2700 fps. I've shot them at 600 yards and was happy with what I got. Compared to 80s they did require about a 2 MOA elevation adjustment up.

What kind of brass is that?  Looks like steel case or coated.  Or very dirty.

"a friend" received a shipment from bayou heads today
ordered 3300 + 500 on black friday
needed to spend $300 to get 15% off instead of 10%, so bought the extra 500
the first 500 arrived a week or so ago
so total shipment time was just under 3 months
