10mm……for a semi-auto.
Something bigger in a Revolver.

I know that I have not focused on accuracy, most of my shots are 50yards with open sights.
My 375 Winchester has been loaded with a number powders to include: Red Dot, universal, blue dot, 800x,...

I would buy a new one that is noisy—that way my noises are covered up, and it is not left on.
I have always used any fast powder that is available, but prefer Red Dot for cast and jacketed target loads-there is no room for a double charge. If I was only shooting FMJ bullets, I would use...

I have only used LilGun in rifles: 300BLK and 30-30.
It works well enough in both for me to keep using it. It excels in the 300BLK with 150 grain bullets. It is a good short range, small game load...

On mine, occasionally, the brass may not go all the way into station #1. This will cause it to catch on the de-capping pin and dent the case mouth. The press has to be fine tuned with its adjustments...

I have a Winchester model 94 XTR. It appears to have a .375 inch bore, unlike a 38-55. However, the chamber must be as long as a 38-55 chamber; I use untrimmed 38-55 brass as a normal practice....

I use this same technique for my 375Win. A fired 308 in a 308 shell holder with the 375 collet crimp die installed, allows me to set a 375 bullet -with a gas check in place- on top of the 308 case...

When I bought my safe, I removed the door—was not sure I could when I started. The door was 1/3 of the total weight. So, I recommend taking the door off if you can. Mine weighed about 500 pounds...
There is no modification required to change the slide to a bull barrel-no bushing. Just have the new barrel fit buy a gunsmith for best results.

When I consider the labor involved in making a mechanically complex steel gun, I do not think the prices are out of line with the rest of the economy.

I think you just need more powder.
5.0 is a starting load.
You need a good taper crimp—squeeze it, it will still be accurate.322149

I am wondering if they could be loaded, as is, with a funnel—maybe one made from the top half of a cutoff 223 casing. Use a fast powder that does not fill the case.
Or load them with rubber...
I shot a lot of 40’s in a Colt Delta Elite without issue, before re-barreling. I did find that I needed 40S&W mags to make it reliable.
As it happened, the gun had a poorly fit factory...

I had good luck with 500 of their coated 165 grain 30/30 bullets—fired from a Winchester 94AE. I kept them between 1000-1100fps. At higher velocities, the barrel started collecting the coating.

348 Winchester ?
Just a thought, as I was recently reading about the caliber.
With one exception, all of those powders will perform about the same.
Accurate #7 is not designed for short barrel target loads, and it is a very dirty powder. I use it in a 9mm carbine, and have...
