Braxton1 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 It looks a little "light" to me for a revolver load, but.... The final end all/be all answer will be this: Measure your cartridge's OAL. (To be more-exact, measure the actual cartridge that will be in the last charge hole, just for consistency.) Load up a cylinder full. Shoot all but one. Re-measure the OAL of that remaining cartridge. Did it move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigarmsp226 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I was always told that a little more crimp is better than less especially if you are shooting the rounds from a revolver, lever action rifle, or semi-auto pistol or rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 As long as they don’t move and.it doesn’t cut the coating should be good. I put at least that much on my 38 and they stay put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 ooooo boy. hi YSRracer, setback is your only worry in that picture. with lead bullets I measure the case mouth diameter. you want the crimp to be .379 inches or less If I get that measure with my dial caliper I am pretty sure all it as it should be. should you find you have a problem with leading or accuracy, you may come to decide you need fatter bullets. then we will have an entertaining sessions for solutions. In this forum, the dimensions I have read are that 9mm revolvers are better described as 38s that have chambers to hold 9mm cases. the barrels slug at .357 and that is the starting point of a difficult problem. to repeat, looks good! check the bullet will not setback. I'd run 'em after that. an example I think. https://forums.brianenos.com/topic/263043-bullet-creep-with-9mm-charter-arms-pitbull-snubbie miranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miranda Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Ho YSRracer, my apologies for assuming 9mm. 'tis my world running 9mm lead. I just know everyone does it and needs my expirtease. well, if you ever get a 9mm revolver, you may want FC cases. let me know... :--D miranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSteel Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I run .358 160gr / 9mm in my 929 with just a little more crimp than that. With your straight wall case your going to want a bit more I think. If those are Bayou’s I will tell you after having to bust apart 250 rounds (long story) for being a slick coating they stick in the case extremely well!!

AzShooter Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 When I was loading for my 9 mm I would use the same bullets as you and simply remove the bell. It took no crimp to hold the .358 rounds in the case and I had no slippage of the last round do to recoil. What you have should be perfect.
