Hi all what would you all consider to be the maximum bullet weigh for target shooting at target velocity in a 9mm pistol?
I am currently waiting on my Lee 9mm 124gr TLRN mould to arrive and wanting to load some boolits up was looking at what I have cast up I have a 150gr Lee RN 38 and a 158gr Lee SWC GC the bore in my 9mm is .357" and the 2 bullets I have are sized to .358"
I have tried some of the 150gr RN's and they fired and functioned fine I used 3gr of Hogdsons Universal (Our ADI Powder AP70N)
just for giggles I seated a 158gr SWC into a case and it looks really good but is a 158gr slug to much for a 9mm?
again I am only after a paper punching round just till my 9mm mould gets here I have a shoot this weekend and would like to load some boolits to give it a run
I have put about 200 115 FMJ's through it to run the barrel in a bit
