It's not a good post because it contains erroneous info. Bullseye 86 is a new powder. It is not Power Pistol.

Power Pistol was known as Bullseye 86 when it was a oem powder for the ammunition companies. No. Power Pistol is Bullseye 84. Bullseye 86 is not Power Pistol.

Steve. I run brass through Lee Bulge Buster before I ever put them on progressive and plunk test every round. When you ran them through the bulge buster, did you feel anything out of whack as they passed through the sizing ring? I mean were some hard to resize at first and then got easy then hard again as the casehead went through the ring in a jittery sort of way? I toss those cases.

You won't KB your Glock if you pay attention. Pay attention to the case. Pay attention to the powder. Pay attention to the bullet. Case: Get a Lee bulge buster or Redding GRX die. If the case looks/feels weird going through, toss it. Powder: Check the powder charge in each case before you seat your bullet. A double charge is easy to spot. Bullet: Check the bullet diameter. Some plated bullets are .001" undersized. You'll end up with little case tension and bullet setback. I use a Lee "U" die to size the first quarter inch of the case to increase tension on bullets. The "U" die sizes the case an additional .004" and improves bullet pull by like 200%. Crimp does not help with bullet setback. Get that out of your head. Crimp is a mechanical lock that increases bullet pull... PULL, not push.

You should invest in the Redding GRX die. It allows you to detect casehead seperation by feel as you push the case through the carbide sizing ring. A good case is initially hard to push through, then eases as the casehead passes through the ring. A bad case will start off hard, then get easy and then hard again in a jittery sort of way as the sizing ring nears the extreactor groove. This indicates the casehead had thinned. I toss about 3% of 1x fired cases cuz they feel weird while passing through the die.

Send it to Novak for an American mag release and a beavertail. Plenty of Legend mags out there.

Dillon makes the best presses out there. Pat The point was that progressive presses which manipulate primers automatically will crush primers sometimes. A hand priming tool or a press mounted tool or even a progressive tool will not set off a primer once it is seated because it does not have a firing pin. Primers are robust, else they would detonate in shipping. Think about light primer strikes. The first consideration is always a high primer. Now why would a press set off a primer when reseating it if a firearm can't set it off with a full blown impact of the firing pin???

I have two Swiss ones, one from the 50s and another from the 70s. Don't get one cuz then you'll think everything is a piece of crap, including $5000 1911s. You'll then wanna get Korth revolvers and Lapua brass for everything. You'll become a gun snob and people won't like you. Then you'll be a recluse... with your P210. It's both a curse and a blessing. They have great triggers. They are super tight, much tighter than say a Baer. They are designed to shoot sub-2" groups at 50 yards although you'll be hard pressed to find ammo so capable. It'll shoot most factory stuff under 2" at 25 yards. They are very slim and look almost fragile, but they are designed for 60,000 rounds of hot 9mm ammo.

If your powder measure is awesome, so will your charges be. Get the best you can afford.

I like 4grs under a 165 @ 1.150" OAL. Runs in a Glock 24 without issue. Nice and soft. Shoots 1" groups at 15 yards.

There's your problem right there. Dillon presses.

3.8-4.1grs at an OAL of 1.142" http://www.lapua.com/en/products/reloading/vihtavuori-reloading-data/relodata/6/34

The more blunt the nose, the shorter the OAL needs to be cuz the bullet shank is closer to the rifling.

9mm Glocks don't bulge cases.

When they're seated sideways or crushed in some way.

Unless you are seating primers with a hammer snd a nail, there is no way it will go off while seating. A primer requires this special thing called impact and it needs to be concentrated in the center of the primer cup and it needs to have enough force to indent the cup and pinch the priming compound between the cup and the anvil, see. The risk is not 1%. It is .000000000001% provided you are possessed by an anti-gun demon. If you go to church the risk is .00000000000000000000001%.

I'll trade you for that brass. I found a few cases and am intrigued by the internal construction. Please PM me.

After wasting a year testing 147s with every available powder I could get my hands on, I found my Glock prefers 124/5gr bullets over AA#7. And my best groups are with the 124gr Gold Dots. They put Zero 125s to shame. This sucks because Gold Dots are about as scarce as gold itself. I have about 3K of Zero 147 JHPs that I will gladly trade for 124 Gold Dots right now.

4 grains of TG with WSP under a 165gr is awesome in a Glock 40.

It's the same SOB who developer calibers other than the 45... like 40 and 9mm and 38 Super. Now we all have to sort!

If you want to play with numbers, get a program called QuickLoad. It will allow you to see how things play out theoretically.

Some chambers shave short and tight freebores/throats. TC profile bullets require a shorter OAL because the sharp shoulder engages the rifling sooner. If you look at Hornady's data, you'll find they recommend a very short OAL for their XTP bullets. MG bullets have very similar dimensions.

You can use OAL to fine tune your loads. But just because the bullet is close to the rifling does not necessarily mean that OAL will shoot the smallest groups. My fav OAL with the 124 XTP is 1.080", but that's with a certain powder at a certain charge weight.

The KKM 9mm barrel I have has a .002" more generous chamber with the came casehead support as my Glock factory barrel. I'd say that if the KKM barrel is strong enough for major, then the Glock barrel is even better because it does not allow the case to expand as much.

OAL is used in conjunction with the bullet type and brand. You know what the internal volume is because you also know the length of the projectile. OAL is useless without the bullet brand and type info.
