I have used Xtreme bullets for all my reloading. I have had no issues. I currently am using 147gn for USPSA competition in my STI.

In So Cal primers are available from between $80 to $120 a thousand. I've got 10k, but when those are gone I'm shooting .22s. When those are gone, I'm done shooting until prices come down.

Any way you can help out a fellow reloaded with some primers if you can get them?

I only have 1K of primers left so I am at the scared point now.

Is Lyman still at work? Went to their website and it has a COVID notice about shipping.

Xtreme bullets are all I use and so if it is the bullet give not seating well that sux. I love Xtreme bullets.though I'm loading for 9mm minor, not major - I didn't see much difference in OAL consistency going from Dillon to Redding - but it's much easier to adjust the Redding. One exception was Xtreme jacketed bullets, my OAL was all over the place with Dillon and cleaned up some with Redding. I suspect its probably more to do with the seater stem shape and where it contacts the ogive. I also have the new Lyman PRo series with a micrometer adjustment. It's beefier than the Redding. Very heavy. It has two different stems - one for RN and one for FP. Looks very promising. Maybe that's an option for you if you can't find Redding in stock. Edited to add - I have't tried the Lyman Pro's yet. I'll see if I can time this weekend to try them out.

Yes mine are greater than 5 thousandths. I want a redding competition micrometer seating die. Though everyone is out of 9mm.

Wanted to ask the group if the load and OAL provided by DD78 on the first page would change if I went from playyed 147gn bullet to 147gn FMJ from RMR? I want the same PF. Thanks again for all the information.

Would like to run a 147gn Xtreme plate bullet in my STI DVC-L. Would be curious if I could run 3dflyer's load in it.

Muncie I would be shooting an Xtreme plated round nose bullet.

Appreciate the answer AZ. I am running an STI DVC-L.

Does anyone have good load data for 9mm 147gn that is soft shooting that will make minor PF using Shooters World powder? Thanks.
-
So that would be 3.5gn of sport pistol correct 12glocks?

DD78 I was just wondering. I like the xtreme bullets but saw a place selling 1000 147gn FMJ for approximately $100 shipped.

12glocks you plan on keeping everything the same but just change powder?

Butterpuc and DD78 would going form the Xtreme copper plated bullets to FMJ make a difference in the amount of powder or COL needed to make a nice low recoil round that makes Minor PF?

It is compared to almost every powder. Back when powder was hard to find, Powder Valley received a huge shipment of N320 so I bought a lot. Even after running out of it a couple years ago I still buy it. It shoots soft, is accurate, burns clean, and I am too lazy to experiment with other powders. In the grand scheme of things, how much is it adding to the per round price, a penny maybe?DD78 I am getting really squirrely accuracy with the load you provided me. Not sure what the problem is. How is your accuracy out of your gun?
-
I appreciate everyone's response. Think I am going to try N320 as suggested earlier. I have never used it so why not try it. Great to know this forum has a wealth of knowledge for us sophomore reloaders.

I’ve been using the exact same load shooting it out of that exact same gun for 3 years.
9mm 147 grain Xtreme Bullets round nose.
1.142”
3.4 grains VV N320.
That loads gives you a 129-130 PF that feels lighter out of the DVC limited.Appreciate the response DD78. VV powder is freaking expensive though I have never tried it.

I am open to any powder.

Just got me a STI DVC Limited and am looking for load data for a 147gn Extreme RN obviously making minor PF. I am new to this forum so if there is already load information please point me in the right direction. Thanks.
9mm Redding Competition Seat Die
in 9mm/38 Caliber
Posted
I bought the Redding 9mm competition die based on all the talk and articles I read stating this die is the most accurate for seating bullets. Let me say I am not seeing this come to fruition. I have set the die up and I am getting huge differences in OAL from bullet to bullet. I thought this die would maybe have a difference of .01 or so but I am getting differences greater than that and in some cases a OAL difference of .10. What gives? I am shooting USPSA Limited Minor and these differences can cause issues when going to chrono. Any help in setting this up to not have a huge OAL difference would be greatly appreciated.
