Alliant Power Pistol

Disclaimer: All of the following powder charges were taken from reloading manuals produced by gun powder companies or other reloading manuals that may vary in powder charges greatly. Various components combined, make all the difference in the world. I am not responsible for your actions. Always refer to official reloading manuals when reloading. As usual, I must say that this information is what works for me. Use your own common sense. You are responsible for your own actions!

Starline brass

West Coast plated 124 grain flat point bullets

I used a cannelure groove and roll crimp

I had an older set of reloaded ammo using Rainier Plated Bullets. I did not have a cannelure groove on the bullets but I did have a tight crimp that cut a crimp ring into the bullets. So here is another set of data using Power Pistol:

No cannelure groove, and I used a strong crimp to cut a crimp groove into the softer (compared to a plated bullet) lead bullet
