Feedback on 160 grain button nose
First topic message reminder :
The Brazos thread got me thinking about 160 grain button nose bullets. The lowest I've gone is 185 grain, I cast my own H&G 68 bullets and have used the Magnus #801 and swaged hollow point #814.
My pistol was built by Jon and is still pretty darn tight. I typically run a 10 pound spring then just add powder until I get good reliability which usually ends up 4.1-4.4 grains of WST, I also crimp to .463".
So my question, since I still need to build enough pressure to function the pistol reliability will I end up using more powder and getting a higher velocity? Then the question is what is the net effect on recoil and feel, is it lighter feeling or more snappy due to the added velocity?

White Lightning sounds cooler than White Label.
Also I shot a 99-5x last weekend on a short line slow fire target, you know the one with the silver dollar sized 10 ring.
