9mm or 38 Super Bullets?


LowBoost

Recommended Posts

I am about to order more bullets. A while ago I tried some 38 Super for the .356 size "advantage" as it seemed to be somewhat more accurate in my CZs. I will start loading for my new MPX K as well and just wonder if I should order 38 Super or 9mm.

I'd order 500 of each, and try them - see which works best in your new MPX ...

 

Just a thought for you - when I have different loads for different guns, I use

different bullets to make it easier to keep them straight ,  e.g.  my 9mm Minor

gun uses 147 gr bullets, and my 9mm Major gun uses 124 gr bullets.

 

Real easy to tell them apart, even if they get mixed up in my shooting bag   :)

Thanks Jack!

 

I was trying to standardize and keep a single bullet, but your suggestion makes sense. 

Assuming the MPX likes 9mm better, I would then keep the 38 Super for my CZs with brand new Starline brass

and 9mm with fired brass (mixed headstamps) to blast through the MPX.

 

I was going to sell all of my mixed brass and get Starline for more consistent OALs, but for blasting at the range it should suffice.

They are basically the same bullets, only difference is OD.

 

I prefer .355 for FMJ and .356 or .357 for nearly everything else. Even some of the coated bullets I have purchased that are advertised at .355 are at least .356.

SC: I will be doing my test Today at the range (ALmost heading out right now).

Depending on results, I would like to standardize with JHP rounds. Precision Delta 9mm - 124gr JHP or Zero .38 Super 125gr JHP.
