Anyone shoot any of these new bullets? https://www.rmrbullets.com/shop/bullets/pistol/9mm-355/9mm-124-gr-rmr-jhp-mpr-nuke/

This was from testing out my new Smith M69, 4-1/4": Created: 11-26-2018 12:46:02 PM Description: 44 special 7.5 Unique Notes 1: we Notes 2: Distance to Chrono (FT): 0.00 Ballistic Coefficient: 1.000 Bullet Weight (gr): 240.000 Altitude (FT): 0.0 Temp: N/A BP: N/A Shots # FPS FT-LBS...

I did that first time loading 25-06. Too much lube and made a dent very like yours. I shot them, they fire formed and I could not tell which ones had the dent.

Of the propellants listed Silhouette would be the one I'd start with. Why? Cause it's the fastest burning of those you listed, and as Live life pointed out fast burning is the standard "go to" for target loads. Here is some load data, and a burn rate chart...

FYI, Here are some 9mm projectiles I weighed. Acme 135 - 133.3+134.1+133.3+134.2+134.7+133.7+134.5+133.8+133.2+134 Brazos 135 - 138.7+138.5+138.1+137.7+137.7+137.8+137.4+137.4+137.6+138.2 Precision Bullets Coated - 125.4+125.4+125.7+125.7+125.4+125.8+125.7+126.6+125.8+125.8 Not a lot of...

Lee makes a few different single stage presses. Is it one of these and if so which one? https://leeprecision.com/reloading-presses/single-stage/ BTW does she have a sister?

natoreloading.com has a lot of way over max loads. On the other hand they have good info on the characteristics of a lot of popular powders.

Thanks for the heads up!

Consistent drops in a Lee Auto-drum and Hornady. Within your plus or minus .01g standard; in my experience. I say go for it!

It's really only a mistake if you do it again. I'm betting that won't happen.

I've gone to the NOE expander for 9mm coated or plated bullets. The NOE expander is installed in a Lee universal expander die, and replaces the conical expander supplied by lee. After slugging my 9mm barrels I've been using oversize bullets. I adjust the die so the bullet just barely fits when...

Done it plenty of times. Just like everyone says. Slow and steady with a universal decapping die

.223 Savage Hog Hunter in a chassis - bolt action and accurate with Hornady 55g factory ammo. My next hand loading adventure.

I use one of these in a dual drum harbor freight tumbler. The squared off sides provides enough agitator action to keep the brass and pins moving . I keep 3 or 4 on hand and as I decap brass of a specific caliber it goes into the jar. BTW it's plastic and transparent. Not my invention, found...

When I first started looking up loads in my reloading manuals, I was surprised to see lighter bullets needed more powder than heaver bullets. Got something to do with mass and acceleration and the pressure created. Leave it to this forum to have the answer...

Having read the tea leaves and realizing that obtaining ammo in Calif was going to be increasingly difficult, I began my reloading adventure a few years ago. Being retired and having more time than money adds to the pleasure in crafting my own hand loads. Finding THR was one of the best things...

I would think you would be safe using the Hodgdon reloading data for SWC 158g bullets. Yes, the COL would be different and if your RNFP bullets have a crimp grove, the COL would be moot anyway. If your bullets are lead then I'd think there is not much difference between them and a lead SWC...

For me creating a load for a purpose is the point of reloading. With a slew of different firearms, all with barrels that measure differently and chambers that vary a lot, I have found combinations of bullet, powder and COL specifically tailored to a particular gun to be the key to accuracy . So...

Yea, lots more attention paid to revolvers and bolt action rifles. Way less 9mm since the steel challenge matches I used to attend are not being held. Glad to have choices.

And a Happy New Year!
