Cheers mate, that really frames our problem- I was lost with the discrepancy of amount of powder used and very light recoil- made no sense. Now it kinda does. Thanks again.

As far as "fast powder" my perception was that 9 mm uses fast ones anyway (e.g. accurate No.2). If I got the comment about the fast powder- would that mean that Hodgon Clays might be just too fast for a light bullet like 115grs? Thanks

Thanks for ideas and advice, I still hope to get some more. As far as tearing paper- no, all bullets seem to make the hole as normal RN bullet does.

Hi, first of all I apologize if my explanation seems unclear (English is not native to me). I have been reloading for well over 10 years, but recently I come up to problem that makes no sense to me. My friend reloaded an ammo for his M&P 9, he used one time shot brass, 115 grs. Raineer Ballistic bullets, CCI primers and Clays Hodgon powder. On Hodgon page they say to use the "lead" data (due to the softness of the bullet). So, for 115 bullet weight it should be 115 GR. LRN Hodgdon Clays .356" 1.100" 3.0 954 25,300 CUP 3.4 1039 31,000 CUP Well, after weeks, he went all the way from 3,7 to 4,4 and the spread at 25 meters was nowhere near the factory ammo (out of 5 shots, benchrest) still at least two flyers 30cm off (at least). With the powder load going up, still not much of an improvement. Unfortunately, last 10 years I only reload .40S&W and only with Accurate powders (in Europe, some powders are not as well known as here). My suggestions were- too much crimping, bullets with not right diameter, ... but still- since we shot it all benchrested, and there was no remarkable improvement (if you miss a paper target at 25 meters, while shooting benchrest- something is wrong). Can anybody help out with some constructive advice? PS: factory ammo shoots a reasonable spread. Thanks a lot. F

Actually, I link my PDA with the computer, so there might me the problem. As far as COM- it goes for COM3, but I will deffinitely try to work around the PDV thing. Thanks a lo, DVC Dave

OK. I followed the guidance as per manual. Computeritself makes a sound like it would know about the timer, but program keeps scanning all the time and does not find the timer. However- my mate tried the timer with his computer and it works, so there is no probolem with the timer, but with the PC or a software.

Any of you experienced troubles with plugging a Pact IV into a PC? Even if I followed the manual, still dosn´t work. Thanks for helpin´out. Dave

Hi, any of shooters encoutered problems with plugging a Pact IV. into a PC? I followed the gudelines given by manufacturer and still have not succeed. Can you help me out with this one? Maybe U have experienced the same... Thanks, DVC
