67degF, mixed LC, CCI450, 2000MR 27.6gr gave me 2850 fps and good groups. 27.8 gave 2880 but had some swipes.

Just got my first revolver in over a decade, GP100 in .357. Long time RMR fan, love the In House line in .224, 9, 10, 45.

Couldn’t find a lot of info on using the Lee FCD with these, so I did some testing. New Starline brass, S&A small pistol primers, IMR4227. Crimps w FCD at Full, 3/4, and 1/2 turn. Used Hodgdon’s data for the 146JHP, 15.2, 15.5, and 16 (book max) grains.

The 3/4 and full crimps showed no creep at max charges.
The 1/2 crimp showed creep with 2 rounds after 5 max charge recoils, 0.001 and 0.003″. Inconsequential to this new revolver reloader. That was 2 out of about 10 rounds in that position.

That said, the grouping on the full crimp was about 2″ at 25yds. Great stuff!

Many thanks to the Jake and the RMR crew!

Velocity/pressure ladder with Alliant 2000MR with Labradar
16″ barrel AR, CLE type chamber
LC brass (mixed year)
COAL 2.255″
Light crimp, 1/4 turn Lee FCD
No compressed charges

Grains/Velocity
26.8/2782
27.0/2822
27.2/2873
27.4/2873
27.6/2886
27.8/2905
28.0/2927
28.2/2922
28.4/2923

Looks like the velocity flattened out 28.0-28.4. No swipes. Primers all looked fine. Case head measurements were consistant with pre-fired.

Will post some accuracy info after I shoot for groups.
