I only have one and it's set up with the Hornady linkage on the right side and the micrometer in the front. I have it set up on a Lee Loadmaster and works really well. I chose the Uni-Flo over the...

I buy a roll of freezer paper,stretch it out across my RR ties and then add as many stick on targets as I want. O ye I staple paper to the ties to keep it tight. I usually put up about 10 targets....

Thanks for all the replies and loads to try. What does it cost to get started casting you're own boolits? I have plenty of lead from decoy weights I can melt down. Do they make beginner kits for...

New to loading .40 cal and other than load data in manuals,I don't see many posts about loading these. Isn't it that popular of a caliber any more?

I usually load 9mm and have an old Glock I...

I went to Hobby Lobby,it's a craft store,and got a larger wooden ball. Sanded it down really smooth and give it about 3 coats of clear coat. Really made a difference for me. Did it to my RCBS turret...

Does any body use or tried this powder for 9mm?

Thanks!

I hate to hi-jack this post,but you guys are saying not to use the LFC die. What or how are you crimping then using separate methods? Seating then crimping,are you using a different brand crimp die?...

Thanks for the replies and the information. Sounds like standard primers are my safest choice.

Is it safe to use magnum primers in 9mm reloads? I use magnums in my .204's for faster ignition for some powders and wondered if they would work similar in pistol loads?
Thanks!

Thanks for info! Lower pressure makes more sense because the real sooty brass shows more if the gun doesn't cycle. I've been shooting some coated cast boolits and even the end of the gun (SR 9) has a...

What causes some brass to be really dirty after shooting and some are pretty clean? Is it caused from the brass not expanding in the bore enough and getting blow back or the brand of powder? Too much...

I've got all kinds of range brass with different head stamps and lengths to use,but was wanting to get some new brass to work on accuracy. What brand would be a good one to buy. I know for rifle I...

Thanks for the info guys! I think when I run out of these will search for a new boolit to experiment with. As of right now Hornadys 90grn XTP has been the most accurate of any thing I've tried.

I've tried all kinds of combinations with this boolit. Tried different powders,primers,crimps and OALs and can't seem to get a decent group out of my SR 9. Just wondered what other's have tried with...

I should have said for 9mm semi-auto...my bad

Brownells and Natchez same deal...free shipping and 1 cent hazmat or free hazmat if you buy $150 or more.

How much taper crimp is too much? I crimp just enough to let it drop easily in a case gauge. Does too much cause fliers? Should the crimp vary on different types of boolits?

Thanks for all the good information,will see what Optics Planet has if I can find a coupon?

Thanks for the information...wasn't quite expecting such an in depth answer,but it does help to know.

I currently have a Redding,Hornady PTX and regular Lyman expander dies. To me it seems all they do is just flare or bell the tip of the brass (9mm) and doesn't really seat the bullet any. If I adjust...

It's just going to be for fun,lots of plinking and target shooting. What do you mean they're not adjustable? Can't you adjust elevation and windage on them?

I have a SR 9 and would like to put a Red Dot on it. Any suggestions on a mini dot that will work good and hold up? Thinking

of a Burris Fastfire II or III...any body have experience with either...

Going to try CFE Pistol with this boolit...start with 4grns with OAL of 1.150. Any body else use this powder shooting 9mm? Gun will be Ruger SR 9.
Thanks!

Thanks Moonie!

Has any body done or have a way to improve the pull on this pistol?
