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

Finally got around to slugging my 9mm pistol barrels. I'm not all that experienced reloading and I wanted to gather some information on why some of my reloads are way more accurate than others. So I slugged the bores of my 4 pistols and wound up with 2 measuring .3565 and 2 measuring .3545. I...

Reloading is fun and being able to tailor a load for a specific purpose is really cool and practical. Here's the story: My son's girlfriend is new to shooting sports and I've been trying to get her and my son to come out to the local range for years! I wanted her to have a great experience so...

I wanted a 1911 in 9mm, but I live in California which severely limits one's choices. My FFL talked me into buying a Rock Island Armory .38 Super 1911 GI version and getting a 9mm barrel. So that's what I did. Hooper Gun Works stocks RIA 9mm barrels. I saw some YouTube videos of successful...

Got some new bullets. Acme 9mm 135 gr. RN. Without specific load info I thought I'd do some interpolations to calculate a starting COL (plunk test for my shortest leade barrel to follow) and a starting load. My concern is seating depth and the possible resulting over pressure from having the...

Darn pal of mine just picked up a new Vaquero. And I had to shoot it yesterday afternoon. Now I've a hankering' for a single action side arm. I'm sold on the 5.5 inch version of the Bisley and need help deciding between the Blackhawk Bisley .44 Special flattop and the New Model Blackhawk...

I've been using a old phone with the Ballistic Precision Chronograph from Caldwell. It works after a fashion. I'd really like to use a tablet; easier to see etc. So if you use a tablet with your Caldwell Chronograph, could you tell me what tablet you use? Who made it and what model you have, and...

Well it looks like it's time to move up to a progressive press. I'm seriously considering the Hornady LNL and have some questions for all you LNL users out there in reloading land. I currently reload 9mm on a LCT with a Lee Auto Drum powder measure. I like this setup, but I've been shooting a...

I'm looking at the 135 gr RN Bayou Bullet for a fun experiment creating a "practice" load using this bullet and a "SD" load using Speer's 135 gr Gold Dot. Wondering if anyone has experience with the Bayou bullet or either one actually now that I think of it. These loads will be shot out of a...

I'm looking to speed up filling primer tubes for my RCBS Bench Prime tool. I'm looking at two specific vibrating auto fill tools, the Hornady Lock-N-Load 1911 and the Frankford Arsenal® Vibra-Prime. I'm wondering of anyone has experience with either of these tools and the RCBS Bench Prime? Do...

I picked up a 5 lb jug of Trail Boss. Mostly to use in low power revolver loads which I'll use with my new to shooting son, daughter and their spouses. The thought crossed my mind of loading some 45 ACP with Trail Boss. I have some 200 gr SWCs and some 200 gr. RNFP bullets. Hodgdon shows a load...

After searching for many months I finally found a California Politburo approved SP-01. Took her to the range yesterday and put 175 rounds of 9mm Freedom Ammo 124 gr. down range. Much to my dismay starting with the second magazine, the trigger started eating up my trigger finger. I resorted to...

Measuring velocity with an optical chronograph has become more of a challenge now that the days have become very short and my shooting club is located in a narrow tree lined ravine, making it fairly dark most of the day. And there is the setup time and resulting inconvenience to fellow range...

Shot a practice round of steel challenge. Way fun! Got a match coming up in early December. Looking for a recommended load for 9mm steel challenge matches. There is no power factor requirement, so lots of folks are shooting light loads with just enough powder to reliably cycle in their pistols...

Being somewhat new to the reloading game, I figure it's better to ask a question than try to guess. I just received some 9mm bullets. And like I always do when I get a new projectile, I measure and weigh a few to see how consistent they are and to have a reference when figuring out the COL for...

Been using the RCBS bench primer tool for a year or two. Today I loaded up a tube with S&B SPP and started to prime some 9mm cases. Three or four cases into the process and the tool sends a primer shooting across the bench. It looks like the tube is catching on the primer; as the mechanism moves...

I'm relatively new to reloading and have a question regarding powder charge and COL. I made up some dummy rounds and did a "plunk" test. All normal in most of my 9mm pistols with the exception of the XD-9 Tactical 5". I know from other plunk tests with different bullets that the barrel in the XD...
