Don't tumble, let alone with a solvent, like I do the rest of my brass.I was under the impression that was a very fussy cartridge to reload. What have you learned?
It'll strip the thin polymer coating off the brass creating more friction in (PS-90, and other 5.7 double-stack) mags.
Use an ultrasoinic cleaner to clean the brass.
55+gr projectiles can tumble as the 1:9.1 in twist PS-90 barrel likes lighter bullets.
Blue vs. Red tipped 40gr V-MAX tip color is only cosmetic.
Don't over-crimp.
Don't chase MAX-Loads.
Might be able to reload it for about $0.25/rd(, if one already has primers bought in bulk).
Looks like I need to add yet-another powder, or two to what I use, BUT even one pound should go a long way....
