Hi! my first post here :D Iīm really exited with this ...
my question is ... does anyone know which is the best bullet desing for match grade accuracy with a pistol ? a mean 25 yards or so ... I think that the Hornady HAP is a match bullet and a want to copy itīs desing to make mines but a lot less ... but maybe there is a better option... thatīs why iīm here :)
(I donīt really care about expantion and those kinds of things because iīm only shoting paper)

Another question is ... where i can post a thread about reloading ? i mean reloading recipies and post my performance , because there are a lot of sections but i cant find there right one (do you understand whta i mean ?)

PD: excuse my english :( :brokenima

Honestly at 25 yards the bullet selection isnt too critical.

What caliber are we shooting? 9mm 45acp ?

Im shooting 9mm luger ... but is there a difference in 50 yards ?? Im trying to make bullets for sale and i need to know which desing is the most Inherent accurate desing ... Do you find more accurate ? jaketed, plated or exposed lead ?

WTB thanks for the previus answer :)

The Hornady HAP is a good profile - and remarkably similar to the Lyman 356402 which predates it by a couple of decades.

That old Lyman profile is a great shooting bullet.

Do you plan to cast or swage bullets? Jacketed or lead?

I plan to swage them and my idea is to make jacketed bullets because here are extremely expensive because there is only 2 factories and they value theirs bullets to high I think ...
but using this method of swaging i can make lead(plated) or jacketed which is great feature :D

you are right both have the same profile ... but the HAP is a HP do you know why ?

it moves the weight rearward.
for clean scoring on target you need sharp shoulders.

50 yards will certainly seperate the good ones from the bad ones.

They can shoot 9mm in the service portion of NRA bullseye and they have to shoot a 115gr rn jacketed.

Ive heard of good results from the Hornady 115gr FMJ-RN, approx 1-1.5" at 50 yards from a well built gun
