    9x18 Makarov bullets.

    BT Sniper made me a die to change the shape of a Berry's .364 RN for the 9x18 Makarov. I sent him a drawing of what I wanted and he delivered.

    Here is a picture of the before and after bullets and the new bullet loaded in 9x18 cases. (Made from 9mm Parabellum brass.)

    About the same as the round nose versions, I am going to have to tweek the loads some to get the optimum accuracy out of these. I think I will get the best accuracy using AA#7, if I can find any.
