My preference for higher volume 9mm USPSA type shooting for being “clean”:

Nobel Sport Vectan Prima V
Expansion Industries ETR-7 (supposedly it is rebranded CSB1. I bought a lot...
For 9mm, that’s great. Shoot on. Results matter most.
For a while, when I was loading and shooting 9MM a LOT, I substituted small pistol magnum primers due to a supply issue. Dropped my SD into...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I PC all of my projectiles. I have not noticed a difference between bullets with lube grooves or not (except the price of molds). If you are going to be feeding through a lever action, a crimp...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I dont think any PC ever gets "hard" as you mean it. It bonds to the lead, encapsulating it and providing a lubricating surface to the bore. Essentially, it will take on the hardness of the lead it...
Forum: Cast Boolits
I notice you are swaging the projectile and then powdercoating. I have only tried it by powdercoating first and then swaging it. It works fantastic.
I have only tried it for 9mm as a proof of...
Forum: Swaging
If you are swaging up lead bullets, I have had a lot of success powdercoating the projectiles first and then swaging them to final size and shape.
For instance, a 200gr - .401 mold intended for...
VZ Grips. Does the trick for my Scandium J-frame. Be aware they are made for concealment and not “hand filling".

458 SOCOM. A suppressed 500gr pure lead (but powdercoated) bullet loafing along at 950fps is still 1000fpe. It is definately louder than a suppressed 300BLK, but packs a punch.

I just picked up a Schumacher "dumb" battery charger at Tractor Supply. I did not know they still made them and grabbed it while I could.

I shoot subs suppressed out of a PTR9C (MP5 clone) with an 8.8 inch barrel and a Glock 34 suppressed. The loads listed below are loads I shoot in my CZ's for USPSA matches. They function reliably...
Forum: Swaging
What caliber are you looking at? I much prefer swaging over casting. But first you have to have a "core" to swage up. I shoot a lot of 9mm for USPSA and find that the time investment is not worth...
Forum: Cast Boolits
CZ's are notorious for short leades (throats). I think because the design was when a 115ge - 124gr FMJ was the cats meow. When CZ's became popular on the USPSA/IPSC competition, many people found...

Kewl. Looking forward to see if it fixes the problem. I still think its a sizing issue, not hardness issue.
Just remember, if your brass is not expanded enough with a deep "M type" expander plug,...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Reading your updated posts, it looks like your pulled bullets are still sizing down to .356. I still suspect thats the root of your problem. You need a properly sized deep expander to stop that...
Forum: Swaging
Dang... That is nice. Is the cannelure necessary? Ive never played with the 357 SIG before.
Forum: Swaging
Could you use .380 brass and avoid the trimming? The case is .680 in length.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
My experience with 9mm:
98% of bullet retention is from a properly resized case, not crimp. What sizing die are you using? I run a Lee/MGW U-Die which resizes the case .0003 smaller than a...
I backordered 357 Maximum brass from Starline December of last year. It arrived at my doorstep today. I checked Starline's web page and Maxi brass still shows on backorder only and not available...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Larry, thats an interesting "twist" I never heard before. I was more concerned with stability of the long Ibejihead 165gr "mortar round" poking along at 750 fps and avoiding baffle strikes. The...

Hmm. I reread your original post and last one. This is an interesting issue to resolve.
Your powdercoat, what brand is it? Other people have done all the legwork on powdercoating boolits and I...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Lots going on here. Based on my experience:
If you PC your cast boolits you can pretty much go as soft as you want with the BHN if you are 2500fps or less. I use pure lead with a little Tin for...
Forum: Shot Loads For Pistols
I don't know your circumstance, but it may be worth going in another direction for a dedicated "Snake/Rat Gun." The Bond Arms "Roughneck" Derringer in .357 can be had for as low as $250. Ream it out...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Might be trying to solve a problem that does not need to be solved. Does the visible bulge even matter? Heavy 9mm bullets are usually tapered at the base to allow for the case wall thickening.
