THESE ARE THE MOST FUN INCENDIARYS I HAVE COME ACROSS IN A LONG TIME! THEY SHOOT GREAT AND ADD ABIT OF FLAVOR TO YOUR FIVE SEVEN OR PS90. THEY SHOOT FLAT AND BLOW UP BIG. THESE ARE TOP OF THE LINE BUT IM NOT TRYIN TO GET RICH OFF ONE BOX OF AMMO SO I AM LISTING THEM AT A 'REASONABLE' PRICE. IF YOU WANT MORE LET ME KNOW WHAT NUMBERS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AND ILL SEE IF I CAN HELP YOU. I DID GET 'ALOT' OF THESE IN SO IT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM. I DO DISCOUNT FOR BULK. THE BULLETS ARE !!NON!! MAGNETIC SO NO STEEL GOING DOWN THAT EXPENSIVE BARREL!!!
PLEASE DONT BID IF ILLEGAL IN YOUR AREA. LIKE CA WASH' DC , NYC, MASS...

Reloading 9mm

Reloading 9mm: "It is very important that the reloader understands the relationship between mass and volume. As the charge weight increases, the load density increases, so there is less airspace. Either factor alone would raise pressure significantly. Obviously, more powder generates more energy, raising pressure. Less obvious is that more powder occupies more space, which also raises pressure, as the expanding gases have less available volume. However, these factors cannot be isolated, and 9mm has a relatively small case. It is extremely important to work up loads properly and safely with 9mm. Certain fast burning powders can cause dangerous pressures with extremely small increases in charge weight."

The recently published 'The Classic British Rook & Rabbit Rifle' by Colin Greenwood (2006) has a nice discussion of 'The 22 Long Rifle Central-Fire'. A 22 Long CF appeared around 1899, and the 22 LR CF a few years later. They were available up to 1937 or so. Apparently they were used in 'Morris Tubes', conversion units for large bore rifles. By using a CF case, the conversion unit could be simpler and cheaper. If the attached picture comes through, it shows a 22 LR CF solid, a 22 LR CF HP, and a sectioned case. The cases had a deep cannelure near the base to support the primer.

...
The Right Shell Holder The first step is getting a shell holder that will hold the .22 WMR case. You can make one by modifying a .25 ACP shell holder by chucking an empty .22 WMR case in an electric drill and coating the rim with grinding compound. While the case is spinning, push the .25 ACP shell holder over the rim so the grinding compound will relieve the slot in the holder for the rim.

IMR Trail Boss for reduced loads (Pistol and Rifle)

IMR Trail Boss for reduced loads (Pistol and Rifle): "This is for you experienced reloaders, and before you tell me that it's unsafe to do this, please read the following PDF file right off Hodgdon's website. Don't try this with any other powder than IMR's Trail Boss though as TB's the only powder in the world that you can safely do this kind of load development with.
http://hodgdon.com/PDF/Trail-Boss-data.pdf

Trail Boss is a unique powder that was developed originally for the Cowboy Action shooters to produce light, low recoil handgun loads with lead bullets. Some guys started experimenting with it in reduced loads for rifles both with cast lead AND jacketed bullets.

Hodgdon (who now owns IMR) also began experimenting with it and came up with the info in that PDF file."

.308 Winchester: "Sizes a .22 caliber bullet into a .308 Winchester casing


The most exciting feature of our sabots is the uniform 'flowering' which occurs immediately as the bullet exits the muzzle. The design is intended to allow the user to maintain excellent group shooting. For successful group shooting it is recommended that any previously fired barrel be cleaned prior to shooting sabot rounds as the residue will foul the accuracy of the sabot."

KTOG Forum - PMR-30

KTOG Forum - PMR-30: "The PMR-30 is a light weight, full sized pistol chambered for the flat shooting 22 magnum cartridge (.22WMR). It operates on a unique hybrid blow-back/locked-breech system allowing use of a wide variety of ammunition as it seamlessly adjusts between locked-breech and blow-back operation, depending on the pressure of the cartridge. The double-stack magazine holds 30 rounds and fits completely inside the grip. The crisp, single action trigger has an over-travel stop. The manual safety is a thumb activated ambidextrous lever. The slide locks back after the last shot and a manual slide lock lever is also provided. The light, crisp trigger pull and fiber optic sights make this pistol ideal for target shooting and small game. The PMR-30 is scheduled for release in the Spring of 2010."

Note that many ball powders can exhibit unexpected extreme changes in pressure below 35 degrees F and above 105 degrees F, rising pressures 10,000 psi or more at elevated temperatures. Be careful at the temperature extremes! In addition do not use ball powders at very low load densities."

Develop Subsonic

Develop Subsonic: "The goal of this article is to explain techniques used to safely develop and load subsonic ammunition without risking life and limb.

The ultimate danger in subsonic loading is a phenomenon known as Secondary Explosive Effect (SEE). SEE can destroy the strongest rifle action and it can happen on the first shot or the tenth. In fact it is more likely to happen after the bore is dirty from the first few shots. SEE is the result of slow or incomplete ignition of small amounts of smokeless powder. The powder smolders and releases explosive gases which, when finally ignited, detonate in a high order explosion. The warning sign for imminent SEE is a hangfire or delayed ignition."
