+1 on Berry's vs Montana Gold. I just finished loading a bunch of 9mm using both Berry's and Montana Gold, and I much prefer the Montana Gold. They have a REAL metal jacket, not just plating, they are easier to load, and although I haven't really shot the Berry's very much, I feel very confident the Montana will outshoot the Berry's. I did shoot a bunch of Montana Gold in my Beretta a few months ago and I was very pleased with their performance.

BTW I load the 9mm to about 1000 fps and have had absolutely no problems with Montana and I chrono'ed some Berry's to get the same load velocity so I'm hoping they will shoot OK.
