hello;
does anyone reload cast bullets for the 9mm beretta/stoeger 8000 cougar using ww231, bullseye, or accurate #5? if so, powder type, amount, and o.al.?
have good accuracy in 3 different rugers and a brn. hi power, but the cougar is giving me fits.
been using bullseye and ww231. cast bullets are the lee 124gr tl and lee 125rnf. both molds have been "beagled". bullets are sized to .357.
with an o.a.l. on 125gr.-tl is 1.140" and o.a.l. on the 125rnf is 1.050", we get good accuracy in my other 9mm but not the cougar.
bullets are tumbled lubed. reloads are just at or a little above starting speeds because I get very good accuracy in the rugers and browning. alloy is wheel weights, water quenched at time of casting. speed in not important to me, just accuracy.
after several hundred rounds fired it's time to call "time out" and ask for suggestions. just trying to save powder and primers chasing accuracy on the cougar. thanks for any input.
