I would try and make your alloy harder. Also you may want to take buckshot's advice and get a new barrel. You are going to have a hell of a time getting .361-362 projectiles to fit in a 9mm case...

The concern is that there is a high pressure spike because of the explosiveness commensurate with high nitro content powders. The faster burn rate requires much less powder and the potential for a...

2.8-3gr for 55gr projectile. 2.8 if you are wanting subsonic.

I haven't used solder so I can only be pretty sure, but I think the mix is tin and lead. Tin's hardening properties are minuscule. Also too much tin can have negative effects on the physical...

You'd have to try and water quench after the PC process because baking at 400 will undo everything the quenching did after casting. 50/50 will only get you so far, you need some antimony. If you are...

Interesting you are getting leading. I used a softer alloy early on and my rounds tumbled like yours. I maintained the same size and hardened the alloy and all tumbling stopped. I wonder if that will...

I would rent one from a range before you buy it. The grip angle is different enough that it sours people on the platform quite easily. If you like the way it points and feels (you can reach all the...

I bet the 20 you kept were your last 20 when your mold was at the proper temperature.
I am getting my glock 34 back this week from its modifications moving me up to open division. I will have the SJC 11 port comp at the end of a KKM barrel. I was wondering if you gents have any load...

How much of the sticking to bullet bases is just static. Is the powder coat any softer or brittle than before? Titegroup is notoriously static and anyone using it in a hopper dispenser will agree....

You are fine. There are just a bunch of super forum ninja nerds who attempt to gain cred through "I once saw" or "my buddy said" stories. I doubt there is a post where someone said THEY double...

I had problems using soft lead in my semiauto handgun. I could size to .358 but after seating the bullet and then pulling them, they were closer to .353. As anyone in here will tell...

I was referencing this gem, not your first post.
Also I take nothing seriously, especially on the internet.
The point of communication is to relay meaning. If you choose words deliberately that do not adequately relay meaning, then you are deliberately not communicating effectively. That being said, this...
lol what bearing does this contract have on the presidency. If I was a betting man, I'd say that something like this wouldn't even cross his desk.
That being said, I would be wearing my tinfoil...
That may have worked back when you were growing up in the 1930s but there are new guns out now. "45 Automatic" easily describes the Kriss Vector or MAC-10. "Colt 45 Automatic" is also very limiting...
