I know there has been a bunch of posts about using this boolit in a 9mm. I would like some feedback on my thinking process with this boolit. I have loaded up a bunch of them using 3.6 of BE and CCI 500 primers, the boolit sized to .357 and 2 coats of 45/45/10 lube. COAL is 1.050
That is much below the max of 5.1 BE for the Lee 356-102 1R boolit in the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook.
They fire out of my three 9 mm guns, but with problems either loading or ejecting in each gun. the guns are: S&W Shield, Beretta 92F, and P38 from WWII. I would like to adjust the COAL smaller to see if it reduces these problems. the Lee 356102 1R was 1.030 OAL in the Handbook. I think going to 1.040 or 1.035 would be safe given that my amount of BE is so far below the max of 5.1 Pressure will rise but in each gun the reduced pressure is probably causing some of of the feeding/ejecting problems too.
Am I thinking correctly?
