Oh Tx,
Armoredman's info is correct, the part of Mal's post is the part that says, "you have to load a particular bullet to the OAL that works," this is misleading as is the quote in my last post. I guess if you take out the middle paragraph of post 83 then I would have to agree with you. |

Thanks, Mike. Some of us are guilty of keeping old manuals a bit too close to the laptop. Glad Armoredman caught that for us.

I'm planning on firing my current batch tomorrow and I'll be sure and let everyone know how it goes. I can hand cycle every round in both guns and each time the round will seat flush, along with the case gauge test and barrel (both CW9 and P225) test. I'm confident everything will go fine.......asuming the gun doesnt blow up in my hands!

The FP or HP profile on the 9mm is a hard COL to hit for all pistols, that's why I recommend the RN for most applications unless you've got a lot of loading experience under your belt. Your images show very heavy crimp, but it sounds like the guys have you pointed in the right direction.

Yea, I still have 600 (124 grain HP) of them but I'm sure someday i'll buy a gun they will fit and use them up. I'm leaning more to the 115 grain bullets for my 9mm's now. Don't worry Jay I still like your bullets. The 155 grain HBRN and the 180 HP in the S&W 40/ 10mm are among my favorites in my 40.
Good luck Hulley |

Send them back to me and I'll replace them with our new 124gr HBRN-TP, they've been really well received by our USPSA shooters. If I have any of our new HP's on hand I will put a few teasers in the box as well

I'll just keep them Jay, the bullets are not bad and I'm sure I'll run into some one who can use them or I might buy another gun they will fit in. (They're not going to stop making guns are they? ) But my next order I will try the 124 HBRN's been hearing good things about them. But when will the new HP's be on the market, and are they going to be for practice or protection? They look impressive and yes armoredman their costumer service is very good.
All this might be little off topic. But we might as well be doing something while we are waiting for Hulley to give us a report. |

Shooting for the 1st of the year, performance based HP for controlled expansion and weight retention.

Thanks Jay! I'm pretty confident that I have it all worked out, I got some great help from the fellas and I learned ALOT.
Those SD rounds look preety sweet and I'm sure i'll pick some of those up soon. I've already ordered a box 115gr RN. |

Solid copper I assume,works for Barnes(but way too expensive) That would help pistols become better for more hunting situations.

ARGGHH! Now my new rounds are FTL! I only tried 3 rounds but all three would get hung up when trying to load. Kinda like they are too short. I'm pretty frustrated. I've got some lead cast RN that I'm gonna try.
Anything I may have missed? Berry's JHP 124gr 9mm ACC #5, 6gr load Fed small primers 1.050 OAL |

It's probably wedging against the feed ramp. Is this under firing conditions or with you closing the slide manually?

this is under firing conditions. When I hand cycled everything seemed to work fine. It could have been unde the feedramp, i should have looked closer. Is that likely because the OAL was pretty short?
I just loaded 10 rouns of 125gr lead cast RN acc # 5 at 6.0grs OAL of 1.140. Did the drop test in case gauge and barrel and all was good. The OAL is a fai amount longe so I'm hoping I'll have some success. If his does work than I'm gonna set aside the Berrys JHPs that i have and get some RN and try that. Reloading is a lot of trial and error isnt? Last edited by hulley; September 11, 2011 at 08:19 PM. Reason: spelling |

Is it any specific round, like the last one in a magazine?

^^ When I load a mag and rack the slide there is no problem. After the first round is fired it jams, clear jam and the very next round jams.

Calculating OAL It sounds like it is pretty much the same technique, except for subtracting off .010, you think?
