I cast some 160's for 9mm, they really shoot soft!!

Loading long bullets in 9mm can be a pain, the long shank of the bullet can bulge the case enough to cause them to hang up in the chamber.

I too like medium burn powders unless loading a competition specific load, competition loads with 9mm are all loaded with Clays at my house.
