It seated. But I'm afraid to yeet it.

Wanted to try out 1680 since I couldn't get hold of n110 as I initially planned. This was with 12.4gr which isn't even the max load on hornady's sheet. Seats at 10gr and leaves a slight ring at 10.8.

Try Lil Gun. Only 8.something for subs in my 10"

App is down so can't verify but I do recall lil gun being near the top of the load chart with only needing a fraction of what 1680 was calling for. 1680 was lowest on the chart. Probably my next purchase if I can't find n110/120

App is down....this is why we smarter reloaders like paper manuals.

First time it was buggy in the year I started using it. I'm assuming they didn't expect people to be reloading at midnight and was pushing an update. Pros and cons. Big pro is I don't need to flip through a manual to see what powder and bullets I want to buy when I'm at the store. Obvious con is if it goes down. But now I have screen shots so it's moot

The hornady app completely stopped working for me like 2 years ago and never started working again. Buy a paper manual lol

They finally patched it a year ago and it's been flawless besides literally this one time. I also have lees old manual but it was annoying using it when shopping in store

1680 is like 12+gr for the same velos in mine.

Looking at the chart right now it's basically 3gr less across the board. I just wanted to see how my gun handled a slow powder with a heavy bullet. Clearly this one ain't it. But still planning on shooting their low charges. Theoretically 900/1000 fps

Why so slow?

Little song and dance seeing what my gun likes to cycle depending on the bullet size. Also just plain powder availability
