A Hornady Cam-Lock bullet puller was ordered for .44, which is very close to the case diameter for the 40 S&W (.424) to investigate pressing cannelures into the cases.<br /><br />This is fun stuff.<br /><br />-JoeEaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-44492795018218608412015-03-24T12:00:38.897-04:002015-03-24T12:00:38.897-04:00I don't reload .40SW, for the simple reason th...I don't reload .40SW, for the simple reason that it is so easy to get in trouble with that round. If you recall, it started out as a shortened version of the 10mm after the 10mm was determined to be too harsh for some people to handle. I was leery of the cartridge during the early production years, and after reading of a series of Kabooms during those years.<br /><br />I carry the .40SW every day, but it's the one caliber that I shoot factory ammo only. This is the Sheriff's gun, (a G22) and he buys the duty ammo, but I supply the practice ammo. I've just never felt quite right in using reloaded ammo in the .40SW. <br /><br />Years ago, I documented bullet set-back on the .45ACP and I know that it can occur in the .40, but do everything I can to minimize it. In a round that's high pressure to start with, compressed loads aren't my idea of a good time.Pawpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959820068377494313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-91829052872130896862015-03-23T21:54:42.142-04:002015-03-23T21:54:42.142-04:00I only found one with a cannelure. The cannelure ...I only found one with a cannelure. The cannelure is not very deep and would be easy to miss.<br /><br />Russ pulled out two bins of about 15 pounds each for me to sort through. I mostly sifted through the top half of each bin. So call it a guestimate of 0.1% with-cannelure with a very wide margin of error.<br /><br />Regarding the poachers: I am sure there is a story. I just don't know what it is.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting.Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-40812966380039482152015-03-23T18:53:48.088-04:002015-03-23T18:53:48.088-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-81513355053646923292015-03-23T18:53:44.460-04:002015-03-23T18:53:44.460-04:00Just out of curiosity, how many did you find with ...Just out of curiosity, how many did you find with cannelures?
