9mm=greendot

I am loading 9mm 115 gr. jacketed with 4.2 gr. of greendot. Use them in a pt92 taurus.. They work great for target as the shell is placed about 1 to 4 feet away "easy to find". The one thing I notice is the top 3/4 of the shell caseing is real dirty on the outside of it . Any one know if this is normal or are the pressures to low to seal ? Is there a detrmental effect to the weapon? cycles great.

Thanks
Mike

You got me. I just looked through ALL of my reloading manuals and cannot find a 9mm Parabellum load for ANY jacketed bullet using Green Dot. It is used in quite a few cast bullet laods, but no jacketed loads. Where did you get the load data?

My Lee manual has data for green dot and jacketed bullets. Also, Alliant's website has jacketed data.

If it's black stuff that wipes off, it's fine. I don't recall the exact termenolgy, but it has something to do with gases not completely escaping the chamber.
