I have had some slightly pierce with 9mm, but no were near as bad as yours. It wasn't the gun as they pierced in a few different guns, but all were glocks. The load was a near max load of BE86.
Walmart sell a cheap universal setup that you could try for a proof of concept to see if it suits you.

I used 1.120 to 1.125 for the lee mold in my storm lake G23 barrel. When I started powder coating I had to shorten them to 1.110 to allow for the thickness of the powder coat. This was just for them...

I have had mine for almost two weeks. Thursday will be it's two weeks birthday. So far 362 rounds down range with Glock mags. No failures. Mine is sporting a Sig Romeo5 red dot.
HP38/WIN 231 works good for me with cast in the big 4 (9mm, 38special, 40 S&W, and 45 ACP). My loads with the 175 grain lee and HP38 falls short of your 1,000 fps goal though. I have used that boolit...
+1 on plated being ok in Glocks. Lead cast is also ok in my experience, especially in 45 acp. Most of what I shoot is the Lee 401-175 TC in my 40 S&W and the Lee 452-230TC in the 45s. I did switch to...

Ok I casted up another batch this weekend. 158 grain .358 lee fn and 230 grain .452 Lee tc. I got some new acetone. same brand as I used before. First thing
I noticed was the immediate reaction...

The mix is 100 ml of acetone to 20 grams of powder. I didn't know if I should try a different brand of acetone or try using MEK instead of acetone. Any suggestions on the best brand of acetone to...

I have been following and reading up on HY TEK for some time. I ordered the black powder from High Performance Bullet Coating last year. I gave it a try last year without success. I didn't have a lot...

There's no local store supply store for me. Bass Pro is about an hour and a half away so their prices don't attract me. [smilie=s:. Midsouth Shooters Supply gets most of my powder business as I have...
Bought one in 2002 or so. It is the blued DC model. The only issue that I had was due to poor maintenance. Carbon built up around the extractor to the point it wouldn't feed another round. Those were...

I never could get the SWC bullet to run 100% in my 30s. It seems like I had at least one jam per magazine. I varied the seating depth, but it didn't help much. The biggest issue was the spent case...

I have the similar 200gr WFN mold with HP/FP pins. I has been flawless in my 40 Cal glocks. Tried a few in a friends G20 without issues, but it was just a few rounds. Even at 40 S&W velocity the...

I had to go with 45-70 simply because it is my latest lever gun purchase. I'm really liking the lee 457-340 powder coated on top of a healthy dose of trailboss.

I wait until the powder glazes over then start timing.
I caught the single stack bug and got a G43 when it came out. I put the G27 in the safe and devoted a countless amount of range time training with the 43. I know it being a 9mm is not relevant to 40...
Sometimes your forced to do the mail order thing. As always the key is a bulk order to spread out the shipping fees. I don't have a local shop that I can source out reloading components, so I don't...

I use the .359x.355 for my 9mm sized at .358. Get a few different ones and try them, because what works for me may not work for you. A lot of what we do is trial and error anyway.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Or do like hornady does with do of their levereloution ammo and trim the brass shorter. Mark it to keep up with it.
Lone wolf also makes a 40 S&W conversion barrel that could get you a little more trigger time. 10mm brass doesn't come cheap, at least in my neck of the woods. I don't have a 20 but my shooting buddy...
