As I've stated in prior threads I bought the new Ruger PCC 9mm. I'm disappointed that many of my 9mm loads that I loaded prior to the purchase of the carbine won't "plunk" in the carbine. I have about 700 rounds, I loaded for my handgun, the load is 124gr RMR MPR with 5.6 grains of BE-86 with OAL of 1.10. I give these a very light crimp, really just enough to remove the belling.
My whole thought process when I purchased the carbine was how great it would be to have another weapon that would shoot my 9mm reloads. It's not working out like that right now.
Here's the question: Can I safely seat these loads deeper without a problem? I need to get them to 1.08 about so they will run in the carbine. I realize this will increase the pressure but I've already loaded some new rounds to this OAL with 5.6 and 5.7gr BE-86 and they run fine in the carbine. Will this damage the bullet? As stated above they have a very light crimp.
