Reloading 9mm


Riki

Recommended Posts

Reloading 9 mm is it difficult to reload. I have been shooting white box saving the brass. I have heard the powder drop can be a problem. I do reload 38/357 45 acp 45 LC. Is there a saving and better accuracy vs white box.

I see a majority of powder used is Titegroup with 124. The 147's have more of a push like a 1911. When reloading

with the 147's do get some bulging bottom of case. What do most people prefer.

Not to shoot Glocks???

Titegroup is popular but I am from the camp that doesn't understand why. But by no way is it the majority choice.

CeeZer is guessing you are shooting a Glock which apparently have chamber wall thicknesses that are less than SAAMI specs. One solution would be to get an aftermarket barrel. A better solution would be to get an M&P. :)

Riki, if you can reload .45 ACP, you can reload 9mm.

How many rounds/year do you shoot of 9mm?

You can save $$$ if you use the brass over and over,

and especially if you shoot lead bullets - and you

should be able to get better accuracy and softer

shooting - less violent (snappy) recoil.

Good luck.

Just bought M&P 9 4.25 barrel a good shooter. The only thing I have done to it replace front sight with a Dawson. Not a Glock. The M&P a great shooter. I have been flip flopping using the 1911 or M&P for IDPA.I really like my 1911 alot.Going to order the dies for M&P from Brian. Just trying to get some on ideas on diffrent loads for the 9 mm. Really a nice gun fits real well, the only problem I'm used to to thumb safety.Any informations on reloads would be appreciated.

A ton of people reload 9mm, it's super easy. And yes you'll save money. My cost right now is ~$110 per 1,000 rounds, however it's high because I can't afford to buy in bulk. Also keep in mind that component selection majorly effects the price per round.

Bulging is usually a sign of an oversized chamber, which some Glocks have - although usually in .40 S&W caliber. Best check gauge is your barrel !! Take it out and check each round in it to see if it will chamber completely. Usually only done on match brass/ammunition or after setting up press/dies. Once you get everything set up it will usually not vary.
