9mm major load

[leon1333]

Does anyone have a recipe for 3n38 for 9 mm major? Thanks

You might want to read some of the old postings here at BE ...

Just click on "Forums" (top left of your screen) ...

Scroll down to Reloading, and then down to 9mm/.38 ...

Lots of good info there

HPJ hit it on the head. Or you can just type 3n38 in the search window

I've googled "3n38 9 major" or something along those lines and then read all the articles from this forum. I know what OP is getting at. I'd like to see a little more testing in 115s or guns with holes etc. There not a ton of solid info about n38 in 9 major. It's an awesome powder though.

9-9.8gr under a 115 depending on holes or barrel length.

i'm loading 8.2 3n38, mg 124 jhp, win srp, 1260 fps and case almost full of powder. some flattening of primers. just wanted to be sure b4 i added more powder.

I've found the primers are less deformed using lighter bullets at the same PF with the same powder.

VV even lists a book load for 9x21 and 115 which makes 171pf: 9.4gr under a 115 @ 1.161"; I load the same in a 9x19 case.

9.4 in a 9X19 that suckers gotta be almost to the brim. Pain to load but I bet it shoots nice.

You just can't run the press like a drunken sailor!

As long as you slow the upstroke as the shell plate indexes you'll be OK.

A Dillon 550 is nice to have for that!
