Luger LCP: 0.355
Luger SR1911: 0.451
Sig Sauer P250C 9mm: 0.355
Wife's S&W M&P 9mm: 0.351
These were all slugged and measured with micrometer and most fell within my expectations. I'm casting all at .001 larger, so no extra die expense, a bonus.
Wife's M&P, though, results in a diameter that is .005 smaller than cast. Is this an anomaly that should be brought to Smith's attention, or just load my cast and shoot? Factory loads have shot fine (well they leave the barrel and go bang), just issues hitting the sweet spot and grouping all over the place. I assumed the compact handle and have compensated but she's still all over. Tell her more practice (and just empty 3 mags on the BG) but now I'm thinking more an issue with the firearm?
Can't seem to find a .352 sizing die anywhere.
Anyone else with M&P 9mm that I could compare against on barrel bore size?
