    VZ Grips. Does the trick for my Scandium J-frame. Be aware they are made for concealment and not “hand filling".

    458 SOCOM. A suppressed 500gr pure lead (but powdercoated) bullet loafing along at 950fps is still 1000fpe. It is definately louder than a suppressed 300BLK, but packs a punch.

    I shoot subs suppressed out of a PTR9C (MP5 clone) with an 8.8 inch barrel and a Glock 34 suppressed. The loads listed below are loads I shoot in my CZ's for USPSA matches. They function reliably...

    What caliber are you looking at? I much prefer swaging over casting. But first you have to have a "core" to swage up. I shoot a lot of 9mm for USPSA and find that the time investment is not worth...

    CZ's are notorious for short leades (throats). I think because the design was when a 115ge - 124gr FMJ was the cats meow. When CZ's became popular on the USPSA/IPSC competition, many people found...

    Kewl. Looking forward to see if it fixes the problem. I still think its a sizing issue, not hardness issue.

    Reading your updated posts, it looks like your pulled bullets are still sizing down to .356. I still suspect thats the root of your problem. You need a properly sized deep expander to stop that...

    Dang... That is nice. Is the cannelure necessary? Ive never played with the 357 SIG before.

    Could you use .380 brass and avoid the trimming? The case is .680 in length.

    My experience with 9mm:

    98% of bullet retention is from a properly resized case, not crimp. What sizing die are you using? I run a Lee/MGW U-Die which resizes the case .0003 smaller than a...

    I don't know your circumstance, but it may be worth going in another direction for a dedicated "Snake/Rat Gun." The Bond Arms "Roughneck" Derringer in .357 can be had for as low as $250. Ream it out...

    Might be trying to solve a problem that does not need to be solved. Does the visible bulge even matter? Heavy 9mm bullets are usually tapered at the base to allow for the case wall thickening.
