The Tribe Has Spoken!
Looks Like the Dillion 650 is it with a few little additions, When its time to make the plunge (about 2 pay periods maybe...) Ill give another shout to see what the whole pile of doohickeys and lil extra's I'll need to get off the ground running good. Vibratory cleaner unit, material for it, digi-calipers etc. Once I start down this road I am pretty sure it will be a whole new ball game for me..... Reloading my 8mm and perfecting a fast hunting round.... whitetail and mulies beware!

Ok on that being said... A rifle's a rifle and a guns a gun... So.... what if i load a 90gr, .45 round to around 2,000fps. I know hijacking my own thread here, but the reason rifles dominate so much is because their blazing speed right? So how come people aren't loading pistol rounds lighter and faster for defense? i.e. 5.7x28? (I know weight and mass VS penetration is a key factor...) It can be zipping but if it only goes 4-6 inches its garbage I get that... Extreeeme Shock Fang face rounds. I looked em up and of course alotta mumbo jumbo press on their site etc, but all in all looks pretty devestating, but there is some reports to the contrary on them behaving as well as they should.
Looks like I will have to get into some metallurgy again and see what I can come up with... there was a bismuth project I did a few years back in my moms kitchen involving a soup ladle, the gas burner, and making my own ingots.... Needless to say Bismuth diamagentic properties when being applied to Neodynium magents... is nonexistent. (or too small to be measured and useful)That, and ANY moisture and molten metal is BAD. REALLY REALLY BAD. And my mom was pissed at the stains on the ladle!!
That being said, Bi, Aluminum, Antimony will be on the shopping list for making a fast very hard hollowpoint, that way if its hard it will penetrate more and break up less...?
