Hot CoreHey TCM, I've heard some Reduced Loads "will not" cycle the action on a semi-auto. And to some folks that would be a negative.
However, I have a buddy that has a semi-auto and he is hopeful that is true. It will require him to manually cycle the bolt, but he won't have to chase cases or have folks accidentally stomping them.

If you are a Powder salesman, it could be a bad thing. But, it might get folks shooting more and that would most definitely be a good thing.

Oh yes - one
SAFETY Issue< !--color-->. There is a chance that a person could accidentally create a "Double Charged" Load with some of the Fast Powders. So, it would be an excellent idea to
"Double Check for Double Charges" prior to Bullet Seating. Otherwise your DNA might be removed from the gene pool.
The point of impact is low and to the left.
