Back from the dead! I tested some of my reloads back in the fall of 2021 and had decent accuracy but I only fired 5 or 6 rounds, almost all the cases had cracked badly from the case mount down the length of the cartridge (about 1/2" long). The brass I used was at least 40+ years old so I'm attributing it to the age hardening of the brass. Over the past year I've been slowly processing through it. I pulled all the bullets and primers and annealed the brass before the holidays. just the other night I was able to resize and reload 15 test cartridges.

I loaded the modified 180 speer FP bullets and this time I was able to source some Ramshot Enforcer (AA4100)

I loaded 5 with 17gr, 5 with 17.5gr and 5 with 18gr (Max) I'm hoping to make it out to the range sometime in the next couple of weeks to try these out and get some chrono info, accuracy report and hopefully verify that I've solved the case splitting.
