    9mm keholing question

    I don’t think that it has to do with diameter since other bullets shoot fine. And vice versa with the full size nine. I had wondered if crimp could be the cause of my problem. I pulled one bullet to compare it to others and play with drop tests and the bullet was deformed from the crimp...

    9mm keholing question

    I have a new carry gun (bersa bp9cc) that I wanted to load some hotter loads to practice with. I bought some berry 124 RN and loaded 5.0 gr of unique (this I had crono at 1150 FPS out of a full size 9mm). out of the bersa 9mm it key holed, so I loaded a lighter 4.7 and it still keyholed. The...

    Perplexed to find keyholing

    bds I did no mean it like that. I get a kick out of many threads. The answer is given and then little by little a little deviation come in, sometimes down right arguments. I realize that is a result of people that are passionate about the subject and have been active in it for a long time. I...

    Perplexed to find keyholing

    I am not sure how this thread got to where it is, but just to be clear I did not think (nor do I) that the bullet is the problem. I appreciate the comments. the responses to questions on the forumn are simply amazing.

    Perplexed to find keyholing

    Criss I have not had any problem keyholing before this out of the cz. Though I have had o make some oal adjustments to the 125 rn from mbc. I am going to start casting this winter. I have everything set and ready to go at it. The only mold I have thus far is a 125 gr lee mold that I bought off...

    Perplexed to find keyholing

    bds. How did you get picture of my target? At least that is exactly what mine looked like. I think I have had explaine to me this portion of the mystery. Well the wife just walked in laughing at me because I got out of bed to come see if there was any more input. She shoots all the bullets I...

    Perplexed to find keyholing

    bds. that makes sense. I was shooting at paper on a brand new backboard at our gun club. When I noticed it keholing on the paper, I shot the pristine backboard just to make sure of what I was seeing.

    Perplexed to find keyholing

    Yes, I did a drop test and it did fine. I dont have a cronograph yet, but it is in my next purchase. I have not inspected the gun yet. I have fired less than 100 rounds since cleaning it last week. I think that keyholing usually results from problems with the barrel, which is why I dont...

    Most of my reloads have beent towards my cz75b 9mm. I have reloaded mostly lead bullets that i but from MBC. My favorite so far is the 125 gr cone from MBC. I have shot a couple hundred loaded with 3.7 gr of HP38 with an oal 1.09 with good results. I wanted to increase the loads some, so I...

    OAL question. Just to make sure

    Scout, Never thought about that bit about the magazine. Yet something else to check. You were talking about volume in the big case. When I load 38 special I am really amazed to see how little powder (bulleye) is in there. I have to pull the case off the shellholder to see it.

    OAL question. Just to make sure

    Thanks for the comments they were very helpfull. Rcmodel.....I dont see how you deduced that from my post. I just got the glock and just started loading for it. So no I did not load 2500 hundred rounds before shooting any. I do have Hp 38 as well and will try both to see the difference...

    headspacing

    A term I have heard since the days in the army, I have never fully wrapped my head around headspace. Do you have any links to explain headspacing and the importance of it. I searched THR and could not really find it. Maybey you know the thread I might be looking for. Much appreciate...
