I use a hickory hammer handle but, I hold the wrong end and drilled a hole in the end large enough to take a full Lyman dipper full of lead to add a little heft.

9mm is a very tough case that has a taper and 45 has relatively thin and straight case. Add a little case lube, Hornady One-Shot is great stuff. I run about 1in3 to 1 in 5 lubed to unlubed through...
I have never been that worried about spring replacement for range guns as they just do not fail overnight but for my social and competition guns see new springs every 5000 rnds t to make me feel good.
I keep a separate Wilijen light on the night stand for the reason, don't point a gun at anything you are not willing to destroy. As for night sights I do have them but not for the obvious reasons, I...
I shoot and carry Sigs in 9 and 357 Sig, 58,000 rnds through my P226 9mm. I love how my FEG BHP shoots.
I have been eying one of those my self. There are a lot of 9's out there that have big bores, for example my Sig P226 has a .357 bore and likes .358 boolits.

I do fully understand the design and function of an auto pistol, as I said the gun was already starting to unlock therefore the normal requirements to unlock the gun were compromised. The cam in the...

I will share my suspicions as to what may have contributed. I recently was shooting my Sig p229 in 357 Sig ( NOE 358-128 sizedto .357 BAC lubed propelled by 7.5gr power pistol and a Tula sp primer)...
I was a little worried about stability past 50 yds with the wide nose.
I actually looked at the 500 Smith molds as a starting point.
The gas check is more for helping to grip the rifling with...
I am looking for your opinion of what I have come up with. The goal for this boolit is hunting/woods gun. I was trying to maximize the powder space to get the best velocity possible given the high...

The last time I took in jackets I got about $2.80/lb give or take a few pennies. That paid for a lot of my lead, I buy from an indoor range for $.45/lb.

I got my order of lube 44 hours after ordering, did you get a tracking number emailed to you?
Thanks I will be getting some loaded up and see how they shoot.
I have been looking everywhere for 32 short load data with little success. All I have found are bullseye and unique. I do not have bullseye and unique does not meter well at all. no.2 or IMR PB...
My current one was made in 2008, I did have a 80's era 9mm 41AE combo that had to have 50,000 plus thousand down the pipe with out any breakages.
I have a 10mm that gets a steady diet of mid to upper end loads with no problems. Yes the chamber is supported.

I have found that a stout load of a med burn rate powder does the best in my guns. I am running a 356-102-1R and a NOE 358-128 rf cast with straight indoor range lead with a little tin over 5% off...
