P64--Handloads with Hornady XTP's (picture)

Gentlemen,

I really enjoy my little Polish P64 in 9x18 Makarov caliber. It has been 100% reliable with all ammos I've ran through it. Mostly I've fired steel case Russian and Chinese ammo, but wanted to do some reloading for it. I also wanted to produce a hollowpoint round that would perform. Here is a load I just tested a few minutes ago using Bullseye powder (max load by the book), Hornady XTP bullets, and Starline brass.

Nice shooting. The 9x18 Mak sure is a fun round.

Nice going, you may want to try the 100 grain or 102 grain bullets that should bring your point of impact up a couple of inches.
