I agree on all your points. They do recoil a biit. They chrono at 1200. You are correct I shoot keyholes with the lower load for the BP conversions. The heavies are the target loads, to match the hunting rounds, for the Ruger only. I hunt with 230 Speer hollow points, so I target with the same weight and powder load, just more affordable bulk bullets. The heavy loads group well at 50 yards. And the feeling generally returns to my hand in a few hours.Hey east Texas Rick I would hesitate to shoot those 230gr unique loads(11.5)even in your Ruger. I wasn't gaining anything but recoil over 9.3 gr with a similar plated hollow point bullet. I had better accuracy around 8.8-9 gr and about 1000 fps average in a SBH hunter with 7.5" bbl. Those loads are getting into the twilight zone.
I had a new Hornady given to me recently and I have spent hours pouring over it. I compare it to my other manuals and online pages. I really like to read the story about how the cartridges were developed.Reloading manual?
People still buy those?

I got a 9mm case stuck in my sizing die
Went off the deep end.
Bought a new reloading manual, powder, dies set, bullets, trays, scale, funnels, bullet puller.
First time in years I’ve purchased powder and bullets. Gulp. That stuff has gone up. LoL
If you have stocks of obsolete powder, yes. There are other reasons, too. Printed manuals are a great way to learn about reloading. Online videos are great, sure, but the history, the clear photos, and the authoritative discussion of related topics that you didn't even know you needed to know about all make the books very, very worthwhile.Reloading manual?

Nope, but I guess I’m gonna be buying one. Any suggestionsHappens to every reloader. Do you have the removal kit?
