Reloading Problems with 9mm for S&W 929

[Gregg K]

Despite the issues others have had and the warning from Starline, I have never had any issues with Starline 9mm brass in any of my 929 revolvers. I learned a long time ago running a 646 revolver to use a slower burning powder with a Ti cylinder if you wanted to be able to eject your empty moon clip. I'm convinced the slower burning powder is why I have not had any issues.

Thanks for your post 

would you mind sharing your 9mm load data with us I’m very interested in trying it

thanks

Most loading manuals list loads by burn rate. Try a powder from the middle or slower end of the load chart.

I roll-size and used to bulge-bust and never had an issue.  Even using cracked brass for practice there isn't a problem.  I do also use a Lee U die.

 

I also had a shooter on our squad for the NW Reg. who uses N310.  I thought about it but I've got far too much N320. I do use 310 for Limited.

I am using TG under plated 165s and jacketed 147s.

 

Cases eject fine.

I use HP38 with 95, 115, 147. Never a problem with injecting the spent rounds.

Have you ever had a problem ejecting spent rounds? I see no use in injecting spent rounds.

Everybody knows they eject faster than ones with carburetors.
