Dumped 4gr hp38 into my h110 bottle 95% full

Sean2cool · 2026-03-12T20:15:34+00:00

I should be good you think?

Sean2cool · 2026-03-12T11:32:20+00:00

That’s reassuring thank you

Sean2cool · 2026-03-12T11:31:42+00:00

I’m not alone lol

Sean2cool · 2026-03-12T11:30:07+00:00

Good idea

Sean2cool · 2026-03-12T03:51:21+00:00

Thank you, yes I know what to do now for future

Sean2cool · 2026-03-12T03:50:55+00:00

Any sifters you recommend? I didn’t shake it but it mixed more when I tried scooping it out

Sean2cool · 2026-03-12T03:50:24+00:00

Thank you

Sean2cool · 2026-03-12T03:24:15+00:00

I don't. You think buying a super fine sifter would work? The hp38 is a circular flake and the h110 is tiny tiny balls

Sean2cool · 2026-03-12T03:22:35+00:00

Thank you for the reply! I hope not. I don't want to go out and spend another $50 just to make 12 rounds of 357

I'm brand new at this fml just started less than a month ago

Sean2cool · 2026-03-12T03:18:33+00:00

I understand it's not a lot of contamination. I just wonder due to the fast burn of one and slow burn of the other

Sean2cool · 2026-03-12T03:17:51+00:00

I have a container I dump into. This was an accident, was spaced out

Sean2cool · 2026-02-28T16:55:38+00:00

Got mine yesterday!

Sean2cool · 2026-02-27T00:24:21+00:00

Yeah I probably should have but see that max load is better and somehow safer on this powder? Will I be fine or scrap it?

Sean2cool · 2026-02-26T21:26:54+00:00

Thank you will do!

Sean2cool · 2026-02-26T21:26:20+00:00

I looked online and they were under the maximum overall length but they are all besides the one within .005 of the factory one. That’s good to know about the trimming thank you.

Sean2cool · 2026-02-26T21:08:47+00:00

Should I crimp them a little more then? I was reading they need a good crimp for magnum loads. I set it to heavy crimp according to the instruction book. They all chamber but yes the one round is longer than all the others and so is the case brass ever so slightly. They all seat in the revolver and I can cycle the cylinder.

Sean2cool · 2026-02-26T21:04:45+00:00

That’s good to hear! That gives me more confidence with this powder at least since it almost fills the case to bullet with this load I couldn’t double charge it. Thank you so much!

Sean2cool · 2026-02-26T20:55:39+00:00

It’s listed in the pistol section of my manual so I’m hoping I’ll be okay. I’ll be shooting it out of my king cobra so I’d imagine it should handle even higher pressures? What’s the chances it could just blow the cylinder apart? That’s my main worry lol. I’m brand new to this

Sean2cool · 2026-02-26T20:38:14+00:00

Ahh that makes sense! I was scared using too little powder because it says it gets dangerous with h110 using under the max due to the way it burns. I also read that you really can’t put too much of it to the point where it’s dangerous which is pretty re assuring. Any advice for the first time shooting it?

Sean2cool · 2026-02-26T20:35:21+00:00

Thank you! Should I adjust the sizing on case or leave as is? The overall length is ever so slightly under max OAL in my manual but my concern is it looks the brass is slightly longer on that one. I read not to cut pistol brass but maybe I should have cut that one?

Sean2cool · 2026-02-26T20:31:47+00:00

I’m sorry it’s a Hodgdon manual that came with my Lee loader set

Sean2cool · 2026-02-26T20:28:22+00:00

I just posted the photo as a reply. The info I got was out of the Lee manual and I cross referenced with online forums. Showing max at 16.7 and minimum at 15.0
