OK. i just started reloading for 9mm. I've got a tanfoglio witness match in 9mm and i did the workup load using Win 231 from 4.0gr to 4.9gr in .10gr incraments and i still can't seem to cycle the slide. Even at 4.9gr i got one cycle, but mostly stovepipes. :banghead:my books say that 4.9 is the max load for 115gr jacketed loads, but i'm using berry's plated rounds. I am loading at an OAL of 1.140. I guess my question is if i shorten my OAL, should the increase in pressure be enough to cycle the slide without loading above the max load in the book? any help or insight would really be helpful.
