.356 FMJ in 9mm XDm

[sincityshooter]

Ok, so I have a bunch of Zero 125gr FMJ's that I use in my .38 super. I've been trying to figure out if it's safe and worth trying to load for my 9mm XDm. The bullets are .356. Any help would be great. I haven't been able to measure the bore diameter yet, I figured I would ask the question first. Any help would be great.

Well, 9mm is technically .355, so even if you were to shoot them, it would probably raise pressures substantially.

I have loaded quite a few .356 147gr Xtremes. I started low and worked up to near the top of the loading data without ever seeing any signs of pressure. I would start low and slow.

I've shot .357 135gr Noslers out of XD's for accuracy testing, you just have to work a load up.

Thanks for the advice. I'm setting up the 650 today and trying it out. I'll start low and slow.

I have a few hundred rounds through the gun with the .356's and everything seems to be working fine. Now that I have the reloading going, it's time to get some more rounds down range. Getting some new sights is the first priority with a trigger job #2 on the list.
