glynnm45 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Got some Lead - kind of truncated - 110gr bullets. What are they used for, 9mm? They mic at .356 but are only 110 gr. Anyone have a load for this size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Well, 38 super is .356, 9mm is .355, so they would probably work for either. If you are gonna load them for 9mm, find load data for a 9mm 115 TC, and drop a few 10ths of a grain from the powder and start from there. The OAL should be very close to standard for 9mm. For 38 super, find the same type of info that was found for the 9mm. You probably shouldn't load these to major PF (or even come close for that matter!) as you don't know if they are hard cast or what the alloy is in them, but minor shouldn't be an issue. Again, follow all safety considerations when starting a new load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Actually lead 9mm bullets are typically .356 while jacketed are .355. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane Thomas Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Topic title edited for clarity. "9mm ?" just lacked a bit in the specificity department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a bag of 500 of these 110gr(weighed them on the Green Machine) boolits, not sure just what to do with them. They don't scratch very easily so they must be hard lead and they are a truncated shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
