    I have been using the 158 gr lead bullets in the 9mm since the 70ties. No need to run them hot as they are for practice.

    I sure would like to see a camera shot at that throat in your barrel though. I would have experimented with a lot of casts before thinking of stuffing a L-SWC into one of my 9's. I shoot almost exclusively the SWC's @ 200 grains PC'd out of my 1911 though...duhhh!

    Good Stuff in this thread...charlie
    I will try the shot of the barrel throat with a different camera.
