Earlier this week, I picked up a Lee Anniversary Kit, and 9mm and 10mm carbide dies. Hey, we all gotta start somewhere.

I cooked up 100 9mm and 100 10mm over the course of the week. Today, I took my fresh-and-minty ammo to the range, fully expecting to leave minus a hand or two, even though I loaded light and made damn sure of my specs.

The guns were my Glock 20 and 26. The ammo:

9mm: Speer 115gr FMJ over 4.5gr Bullseye, once-fired Remington brass.

10mm: Speer 155gr FMJ over 6.1gr Bullseye, once-fired Federal brass.

The results:

9mm: no failures to feed, chamber, extract, or eject. One dud primer. 2" group at offhand 25'.

10mm: no failures, period. 2.5" group at offhand 25'.

Recoil-wise, the G20 felt like the G26, and the G26 felt like a .22.

No signs of overpressure. No case bulging, primer backout, nothing.

All in all, a damn good day at the range.
