More reloading

No. 1 (and only) son decided my .45 reload problems were based on the crimp. Brought the crimper/bullet seater die down a smidge to increase the crimp. Also used the barrel as a length gauge. Brought the overall length down until the bullet dropped into the barrel like the PMC 230 grain fmj. The lead bullet was shorter than the PMC round.

Loaded 100 rounds of 9mm with Unique. Alliant's recipe callls for 5.5 grains. I loaded 23 with 3.8 grains and 77 with 4.6-4.8 grains.

I'm not sure I like the chain on the Lee powder measure. It's broken twice since I started reloading.
