[9mm Major Load Data]

Hi Alan,

I need your advice I'm planning to buy the STI Grandmaster and I can't decide which one between 9 mm or 38 super. I have the STI Steel master And I love using it. I though of geting the super 38 for major load coz, I heard that it easy to make a major load for super 38 You're are the expert and more experienced with 9 mm major load is it complicated to make a 9 mm major load? I normally do my own reloading with my 45 ACP and my 9mm. I usually use

WSF for my 9 mm and Win 231 for my 45 ACP. I'll wait for your advice

thanks

Edjosh
