Dave - Thanks for a "load" of information.
I was aware of the "plunk test" and had done that for both guns (barrel removed). But since I was on the short end of OAL, I suppose they should have passed. And I read on another post about a guy who also checked to see if he could spin the round easily while in the chamber as a way to ensure it wasn't into the rifling. But your method sounds good. My concern was that I may have seated the bullet too deep and created a high pressure situation. I understand 9mm is pretty touchy that way. In any event, you've given me a lot to work with. Thanks again.
I would like to have started with jacketed bullets, but of all the bullets I ordered, the lead from Missouri Bullet is all I have so far.
