[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3084048, member: 41653"] Well, I ran into a problem. Up 'til now, I have been single-loading these rounds. I tried loading some in the tube magazine, to see if they would cycle. They didn't. The problem appears to be the neck diameter. I sized to .311, which made the OD of the neck right at .331. That fit okay in the chamber (if it'll chamber, it'll shoot...), but had a problem in the magazine. It seems that, if I loaded 4 in the mag, the first 3 would feed fine. However, when the spring pressure lessened, the last round would not feed. It was sticking in the tube, from the neck diameter. Look - [ATTACH=full]114262[/ATTACH] The round on the left is sized .311. You can see the mark on the neck where it rubbed on the mag tube. I had to take the mag tube cap off, and knock it out with a dowel. The round on the right, and on top, are sized .309. I chose that diameter, because I have that sizer. I need to get a .310 sizer, see if they feed at that diameter. The neck is .329 OD, and they feed fine thru the tube mag. Now, I need to re-shoot the test, see how they shoot. The scoops shown - I wanted to set up a quick way to load these. The charge of 3.7gr Promo fell betwixt the newer yellow scoop, and the older red scoop (the red scoop looks huge, but has a hollow base underneath. It's not as big capacity as it looks.). So, I made one. Grabbed a .380 ACP shell, soldered a piece of copper wire to it, and commenced filing. File, scoop, weigh. File, scoop, weigh. Now I have a scoop just for this load. [/QUOTE]
