Just got my first Tanfoglio, Yes ! Bear stopping power in a concealable package :-) Its an EAA Witness Poly Carry new and since retail ammo is very hard to find in Tulsa and so pricy to ship we decided to learn to load our own. I have 500 rds of once fired 10mm arizona mixed brass inbound (all I could find @ decent price). Also have 4 pc Lee carbide die set, bulge buster yes we have calipers & mics & get it on case bulge thinning) , lyman reloading manual intransit. All our handgun loads have to be for short barrels as listed below. Have everything else already except powder bullets & primers, have Lee anniversery press kit setup, Lyman pro 1200 turbo tumbler & Nufinish polish but the following
This may be mission impossible but...
1. Need proven recommendations on lowest cost but no issue reloading components powder, bullets & primers that provide excellent to 50 yd 380acp/9x18 mak/9x19 lug and 100+ yd tac driving accuracy for 10mm auto. Recoil is not an issue except on the 10mm which is over 10.5 lbs on this pistol and want some full power loads and most target plinkers reduced recoil. I desire the slowest burning powder possible in these short barrels without issues. Also want to use as few different powders, bullets primers as possible like HP38 with all four below loads and same bullet for 380acp & Makarov. We do not want to make mistakes so want only proven in exact situation loads.
1. 380acp w/ 95gr, small pistol primers (brand?)
2. 9x18mm Makarov 95gr sm pistol primers (brand?)
3. 9x19mm Para/Luger w/115-124gr, sm pistol primers (brand?)
4. 10mm auto w/165 or lighter plinker 200-215gr personal defense/hunting. Lg pistol primers (brand?).
Alternative powders for discussion:
Power pistol
IMR800x (known to be good for short bbl)
Pistols we are reloading for all factory no tweaking:
Order of realoading quantity high to low is
1. Jennings/ Bryco Mod 48 nickel 380acp 4" bbl.
2. Sig Sauer P238 380acp 2.7" bbl.
3. FEG PA63 9x18 Makarov 3.9" bbl.
4. S&W M&P Shield 9mm Luger 3.1" bbl.
5. Walther PPS 9mm Luger 3.2" bbl.
6. Kel-Tec PF9 9mm Luger 3.1" bbl.
7. Tanfoglio EAA Witness P Carry Compact 10mm auto 3.7" bbl.
For those who might also know how to help with below rifles reloads...
Now for the harder stuff (omnious laugh):
We, as in all 6 of us 3 young men and one daughter and two parents hence cost control is important and we own multiples of all rifle models, are also wanting to attempt to use the same powder (again proven in exact rifle & load with no less than 100 yd tac driver accuracy). Knock down power and stability are very important. Recoil is a non issue as these are buffer compensated or hunting low use as obvious by model listed in order of qty of reloading highest to lowest. Per below we need a inexpensive but good 140 gr 7mm bullet that flies excellent for the 7wsm that works good in the 7-08 with same powder if possible:
1. M4 JSE upper nitrided bbl .223/5.56 Wylde chamber I have been told, 14.5" bbl. Eats anything Prefer 62gr no green tips.
2. M4 PSA double chrome lined FN Herstal .223/5.56 Wylde chamber have been told, bbl 14.4" M4. Eats anything Prefer 62gr no green tips.
3. PSA 6.8spc CRS (SS) FN Herstal 14.5" lightened profile bbl w/ .750 lug dia. (115gr Federal Fusion MSR untested) & 120gr SST Hornandy custom so far few shot okay.
4. Apache Machine Works 6.8spc CRS (SS) .750 lug bbl on M4 PSA LPK w/JSE upper parts & Anderson lower suppose to be mil spec chamber and good feedback on Ebay. Unfired.
5. Winchester Super Shadow Model 70 7mmWSM 24" bbl low rd count under 20 up to 1 mile tac driver shoots hole in hole @ 100yds w/ winchester Supreme CXP2 ballistic silvertip140gr. There is some talk these cases are overpacked for accuracy.
6. Ruger M77 MK II Frontier 7mm-08 16" steel bbl low rd count about 10 tac driver below 300 yd with Federal Preimum 140gr Nosler accubond.
7. Rossi adult single shot beak action .243 95gr winchester Supreme Ballistic Silvertip CXP2. Federal blue box 100gr. No current plans to reload, no dies unless someone donated them.
Now am out of breath.
Thanks in advance this is no small request.
