Ran some better SWC loads, at 9.2 grain it's almost there.
I'll run a small test batch at 9.4, 9.6, 9.8 that should do the trick

The 6.2 Vihtavuori with 230 Ball batch i made earlier is perfect for plinking, not a hot load , but i can shoot volumes of that and not get tired. No jams whatsoever, they are all consistent ( these were all loaded with the Dillon in mass production mode, with the powder check die)

And i found out what that jam was previously with the weak SWC's.
Had one again like it, turns out, with the weak loads it sometimes does not fully go to battery, but very difficult to see, it's just a hair from being fully closed.
If you look from behind, you can't even see it.
It went away at 9 grains or more AA7 powder..

Anyway, had fun today, broke my personal best in the .22 club pistol competition at 25 meters, got me a 173/200 , with a club Ruger.

25 test SWC's 10 meter, not for accuracy yet
40 of my homemade 230 grain ball @ 25 meters, worked out fine , good group. offhanded

Then ran through 2 full mags of Fiocchi Rapid fire and quick reload at 10 meters...
all in the black..that rotten piece of cardboard target didn't walk away from that , no sir.
