mbeavers1 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I just started loading for 9mm but load a lot for rifles. I found a good deal on some Lovex d032-03. Its supposed to be a very versatile (but fast) 9mm powder for all bullet weights. I grabbed some 147gr Everglades bullets and looked up some data. Lovex had load data for everything except 147 (115gr - 153gr). I picked 3.1gr which is on the bottom end of the 153gr range (2.9 - 3.4gr) and loaded at the recommended 1.125" length. They shot great out of my 9mm PCC and showed no pressure signs but the primers seemed to be pretty cratered out of my g45. I am a noob to pistol pressure signs, but my gut says pressure. Thoughts on these primers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Oversized firing pin hole. If it were over pressure, the edges of the primers would be flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to work my way up a bit, but not sure how to know when is too much. Using rifles, I have ejector marks and bolt lift too. Any suggestions?
