9mm success

[292]

Lee 358-125-RF, LLA lube, 1.060 OAL,
push through sizer .357, boolits measure .358
S&W M&P 9 Shield, 5 shots from 30'

3.9gr Autocomp 2 3/4"
4.0gr Autocomp 2 1/8"

3.3gr Unique 1 7/8"
3.4gr Unique 1 1/8"
3.5gr Unique 1"
3.6gr Unique 1 1/2"

Observations:

Had been using way too much LLA, buildup was adding to my chambering
problems.
3.3grs of Unique would eject the empty but not leave the slide open everytime (I was loading 1 at a time)
Autocomp loads were clean and mild (next week I'll try 4.1 and 4.2)
3.6gr Unique load had more felt recoil
No leading from any load
Will be loading some 3.5gr Unique loads for fun and plinking

Great news.

If the gun cycles reliably, locks open after the last round, and you are satisfied with the accuracy,
No reason to change other than some tweaking.

LLA works best when applied on the thin side. If put on to thick, not only does it not give additional lubrication, it causes problems. It gums things up and is a mess.
I don't need to tell you about summer heat and humidity where you live. Excess LLA in hot and humid conditions is a recipe for a sticky gun fouling mess. It will also give dirt and dust a fine surface to stick to.

Your groups look great!!

I love this boolit in the 9mm and .38. I am now going to load some up a little more stout for the .357. My best accuracy comes from the lower mid range load data.

i'd make sure it will pick up and feed from the mag when shooting before i made a bunch more.
that 3.5 gr of unique load looks pretty good, i'd start there just to be sure you don't have any issues.

I'm on it, good advice. I have to cast more boolits anyway.
