9MM CARBINE RELOADING

... at least that paper won’t mess with anyone ever again!

Yup, I believe so.

Problem with blazer is its coated copper,…

I know you said you are using blazer brass but if you ever decide to try the blazer aluminum cased rounds be sure to check and see if your carbine buckles them going into the chamber. They are a no go in the Camp 9 for sure.

Nope, one simple does not run aluminum cases through a carbine. (At least I won’t even think of it)
Through my handguns…..gimme all you got!

I don't have a carbine in 9mm, but I do have one in 44 Magnum and one in 45 ACP. Since the gun was designed around 9mm Parabellum, and you are having good accuracy and function with factory (designed/loaded for handguns), why not just start with load data for 9mm as in most reloading manuals? I did for my 2 carbines and tweeked loads for each gun, and the loads they like best are pretty close to my handgun loads, with a bit higher velocity...

Oh I’m gonna play with my Titegroup powder now that someone commented about it in the thread. But why not learn to play with others too? I’m going to get some RMR bullets as well.

I've tested just about every powder I have through my 16" AR-9 and have concluded that it isn't very accurate with fast powders, not one. Since the barrel has a non-existent throat I only cast the Lee 124-2R for it and have to seat them pretty deep at a COAL of 1.075". Groups get much better using mid-burning powders with my best being AA#5, Power Pistol and BE-86 with velocities ranging from about 1250- 1375FPS. Slower powders, Blue-dot, AA#7 and Longshot work okay but are not as accurate as the three others I mentioned. I can post my data if interested.

I load 9mm for a sten gun.
I use nitro100nf for silencer rounds and AA7 and HS6 for full power.
I definitely prefer 124 and 147gr bulleta for sub guns.

For that S&W

I would use a med burn rate powder if it was me. All my 9mm loads are with WSF

I've been happy with WSF for 9x19 in pistol with 124gr bullets, but a straight blow back carbine is a different critter. I think WSF should do well in that format with 124gr and up grain bullets, just guessing.
