That went well

230
5 x 5.7
5 x 5.9
5 x 6.1

5.7 felt very weak, but the gun still cycled just fine

5.9 & 6.1 was fine, not a heavy recoil, easy to shoot

The SWC's at 195 grain

5x 6.9
5x 7.1
5x 7.3

all three loads felt fine, soft recoil, but not weak. the gun cycled fine with em.

None of the 6 loads felt anywhere near the 230 gr Fiocci factory loads in terms of recoil... So i think i got plenty of margin.. I think the copper plated bullets have something to do with that as well vs FMJ ammo..

gonna make a bigger batch now..
2 100 boxes
195 gr semi wadcutters with a 7.5 powder load
230 gr ball with a 6.2 powder load

Or just .2 below the list max,

The idea now is to make the Dillon throw reliable powder loads.
So far it's been hit and miss, to much variation.. I'm doing something wrong so gotta see what i can do to improve on that.

The test batch was hand measured and checked, but that was tediously slow.
