I recently applied for Carry Permit in PA as well as picked up a Glock 43X to carry (My 1911 and Sig are just to big for me). I was talking to a buddy who also carries and asked him what he shoots for practice since Hollow Points are not cheap and he answered Hand Loads......Fast forward 2 weeks and I have my Lee Classic Turret Kit, Lee Deluxe 9mm Dies, hours of research, and a ton of questions.
I already asked some questions in another thread and got some great feedback and information. I decided to start my own thread to keep you all up to date with where I am (which isn't far right now). After some discussions and some additional load data provided I have landed on my the starting loads I'm going to bring to the range this weekend.
I saw the sharpie color idea in these forums and love it. I wanted to load these to 1.12 like the load data I saw online but they don't pass the plunk test in my glock. My plan is to load 10 rounds of each below. Shoot 5 rounds through my 226 then 5 through my Glock. Check out the cases how they feed and base accuracy. If all looks good move up and repeat.
I have no idea when I'll get to the range but I'm hoping in the next few days.
