I know that based on how hot the load is and what gun it's being fired from will change how far the brass will be thrown from the gun but WOW! What a difference there was between my reloads and some Federal Factory ammo I tried out the other day!
A good guess I would say that the Federal ammo launched the brass about 3-5 feet on average but, my reloads were sending the brass to outer space! LOL Ok not really but they did go 15+ feet on average.
These loads are on the higher end of the load data range with 6.3g of Power Pistol pushing out a Montana Gold 115g FMJ but are the Federal factory loads that anemic or does it not take all that much more powder to send the brass flying to the outfield?
I have seen a difference from one load to the next and "normally" I see my reloads eject about 6-9 feet I just have not seen them go this far or this short of a distance before.
