Bigger bullets work better is the reason I gave up on the 9 thirty years ago.
Got restarted because of all the technical advance hoopala I'd been reading about. While from a defense point of view all three of the 9's I own are adequate. It just drives this old bullseye shooter crazy not to be able to get groups like other calibers that I shoot. Plan to start reloading for the nine as soon as dies and powder become available again, guess I'll just have to live with it until then.
How much of this fussiness can be attributed to the small case capacity? What are the best modern powders to use?
