My new Beretta 9mm APX arrived at my FFL today. As soon as I cleaned the barrel I set to taking the measurements and very pleased with what I found. The barrel slugged .356 and .357 bullets chamber smoothly. .358 bullets will chamber but snugly. The best news is that the 9mm moulds I have drop bullets that will chamber at the max 9mm COL of 1.169 except for the Lee .356-125-2R and they will chamber at 1.117, close enough. My other two 9s have to have bullets seated about .100 deeper than the 1.169 max to chamber so this OAL in the Beretta will make for a less nervous reloading experience with the small capacity 9X19 case. Time to load up a few and give it a go. Gp
