Obsessive Compulsive reloading

[Badbot]

The main thing is why do unproven tricks (in the name of consistency) that are used for 0.3MOA rifles for long-distance shooting with a handgun that uses a different type of case (straightwall vs. bottleneck) and can, at best, do 12 MOA?
Until the late '80s, magazine were full of authors who actually TESTED things and reported their results. Today, all they do is parrot whatever the advertiser says. Don't think I have really seen any TESTING of ideas, even in Handloader, in a couple of decades.

12MOA?? I have pistols that are sub moa with hand loads and hand cast lead.
if you are 12 moa you've got a problem somewhere.

Oh well, here goes.
I shoot .38 & .357, .44 mag out of Marlin 1894 lever guns. I used to fire form the brass through them and only resized the mouth up to where the bullet seated in the case. This wasn't my idea. I read about it on another sight written by a gun guru. The onl thing he was doing it for single shots.

I my try to do this for 1911 .45s

Don't laugh, I still haven't fully woke up. I'm working on my first cup of coffee
