Anyone else do this?

[Gibbs505]

When going to do a bunch of reloading of 303 british cases, I found to my horror, I had loaded about 500 45acp loads with W760 instead of W231!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

So I have a LOT of loads to take apart. :!: :!:

How did I discouver this? When I went to get the 760, I found that I had mistaked the 760 for 231!! I don't have any 231 in the same size case as 760!! :twisted:

Sure, I've made mistakes. Here's mine.....

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt the results of shooting one of those would have been a disaster.

Pistol powder instead of rifle powder would be a whole nuther ballgame :|

Yes, but I am not going to take the chance! :!: :!: :!:

 

[Why not?]

Gibbs505,

If I am understanding this correctly, you have loaded a slow burning rifle powder in your 45ACP, correct?

If so, they certainly will not be dangerous as far as pressure goes.

However, they may not be powerful enough to cycle the action of a semi-auto pistol.

There is also the very remote posibility that the load may not be able to drive the bullet all the way through the barrel, especially if used in a rifle, instead of a pistol. This could lead to some interesting consequences if one subsequently tried to fire another round. :shock:

I've had to pull about 100 rounds once, but 500 is a ton...good luck :| :shock:

Now if you'd used a Lee loader instead of a Dillon progressive you might have only 20 bad rounds!

Yes but they might have been 303 filled with Win 231!! :shock: :shock:

Only 150 to go now!! :roll:

I'd have shot a few just to see what happens.

I thought about it but felt that the results would be unpredictible. Decided that although the chance of a Kaboom was remote, I liked my fingers and thumbs just to much to take the chance!!

Pluss the problem of getting a round out of the barrel would be a pain!
:lol: :lol:

good work, have another beer :lol:

On further reflection, Gibbs is probably right in not shooting his rejects. Both the Ka-Boom type incidents I've had have been with M1911s, the first ruined a mag and a nice set of fancy walnut grips, and the second buggered-up a set of Pacmayer (sp?) grips because it bent the steel liner and I could never get them to fit properly afterwards.

On both it took a couple of days for my hand to stop "tingling".
