Been thinking about pushing a 9mm 125gr. JHP with Titegroup or 800X and looking for some min./max. loads and favorite recipes. Any guidance is appreciated.

I’d like to collect a good sample of OAL’s, by brand, that you guys are seating your 9mm JHP’s. Load data seems to be all over the place and I don’t have a sample of each bullet to compare ogives. As you know, some data cites bullet manufacturer and some just says “JHPâ€. I’m...

I've been loading mostly lead and plated and experiment way too much with different loads so I continually get frustrated with limited lead load data and have decided to go with jacketed for awhile. Just about bought some Remington bulk bullets when I checked out Zero Bullets at about 85% the...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I’ve heard good things (especially price) about Zero bullets and thought I would give them a try. I’m loading for my PO1 and with it’s “short throated†characteristic, some bullet designs require deeper...

Could anyone steer me to a website containing Vihtavuouri load data? Have no trouble finding other brands, just this company. Thanks

As primitive as it may sound I have been loading several pistol calibers on a single stage press. I want to speed things up a bit but do not want to go progressive. (don’t load enough volume and more $ than I want to spend) Anyway, I was thinking about a turret press which I think would...

The only M-3 and M-6 Lights I can find are either Streamlight or Insight Technologies. Are there other brands? The specs. are pretty much the same but Insight has the best price at Cal’s Armory at $248.00. If you have any knowledge about, or experience with these lights I would certainly...

I’ve heard good things about Zero bullets and thought I would give them a try. I’m loading for my PO1 and with it’s “short throated†characteristic, some bullet designs require deeper seating than in other pistols. With this in mind, before I buy a thousand of them, I was hoping some of...

IMR gives 6.3 gr. of 4756 as being max. for 9mm 124 gr. As usual, not much info. for lead bullets is given. I’m using Berry’s 124gr. Plated Flat Point and since this is a first cousin to lead, I am wondering what you consider a safe max charge for this bullet. Out of my P01, 5.0 gr. of 4756...

Realizing that many factors peculiar to individual pistols of the same caliber affect bullet performance and accuracy, I am directing this question to those who load for a 45ACP SS Kimber Compact. I am well aware that performance between pistols of the same manufacturer and model can vary...

Having a brain cramp here! Generally, for a given weight bullet the powder charge is greater for a jacketed bullet than for a lead bullet. Correct? If so, one could use lead data for jacketed but not jacketed data for lead. Agree? Now, my question: Do I use lead or jacketed data for Berry's...

I use Starline pistol brass almost exclusively and, upon the advice of others, have been sizing new brass. The other day I asked myself why I was doing this. New out of the box Starline brass when loaded without sizing poses no chambering problems but I wondered about bullet grip. For instance...

I have about 600 45ACP range brass ready to load, a whole bunch of 230 gr. LRN, and a pound of Bullseye that I want to use up for light plinking rounds. Looking at the Alliant load data, I see that they give the maximum load for this lead bullet as 4.0 gr. of Bullseye. Looking at my records(when...

Who has the rock bottom best prices you've found for Redding Dies on the internet? Thanks, Tim

I use a S&W 44 Mag, 8 3/8†for White tail and was wondering what bullet you guys using the same revolver prefer for accuracy and stopping power. I roll my own and from what I read on different forums, the old adage...â€the heavier the better†seems to be going by the wayside. Any guidance...

Got to thinking about this thing of FL sizing new straight wall pistol brass and started to wonder why I do it. I guess I’ve always tried to accomplish uniform bullet tension from round to round but after measuring a few I wonder if it is worth working the brass. New starline 10mm brass...

Ran a box of new ammo and a hundred reloads through my new 10 mm Witness and was looking over the brass and noticed something new. Hope one of you can help explain it to me. The firing pin dimple in the primer was “key hole†in shape. Under the magnifying glass I could see that there was a...

Today I called the manufacturer of one of my pistols with a semi-technical question which he fully answered. Well, one thing led to another and we chatted about reloading and he firmly made me fully aware that using reloaded ammo in the pistol would void my warranty. Sort of "toung-in-cheek" I...

Loading for new 10mm Witness. Picked up a pound of AA#7 today and my cast 155gr.SWC and 180gr.TC should come in a couple of days. Could anyone help me with min. & max. loads and OAL for these two bullets? I often have trouble finding cast data for the weight bullet I plan to use. The books...

I understand the relationship between cartridge OAL, seating depth, and pressure. Many posters here warn that care should be taken to not seat bullets too deep to avoid dangerous pressure conditions. Bullet manufacturer’s load data provide OAL numbers for their particular bullets so there is...
