Dennis Loh Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 I am trying to source some good quality 9X21 virgin brass for reloading to 9X21 major load. Can anybody provide some tips as to where to source from as 9X21 is no longer a popular cal for IPSC? With the p.f. lowered to 165 I think it will be easier on the gun and also to reload to make major safely without pushing it to the limit. Any suggestions as to what bullet grain to use:- 124, 130, 135 and so forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Kelly Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 Dennis, Starline has it for $79 per 1000. http://www.starlinebrass.com/ I don't have any experience with 9X21. (Edited by R Kelly at 1:04 am on Mar. 6, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 Wincester 9x21 used to be available but I don't see it around anymore. Far better than StarLine in my P9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 I shot a P9 in 9x21 for years and now have a Caspian in 9x21. I shoot 130 or 135 gr bullets to reduce the wear and tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Schwab Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 I might have lucked into a good supply of new Winchester 9x21. If there is any interest in this, I'll put it up for sale. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianH Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 The Win. brass is superior, but there is nothing wrong with the Starline. There was a feller selling once fired Win....I'll see if I still have his email. I settled on 7-something of 3N37 with 124's. (We're talking 9X21 short here.....) That seemed to be the magic load in my P9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Schwab Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 I think that was Jeff Bartlett. It was $50.oo per 1000 + shipping. If there's enough interest, I think I can do the virgin brass for probibally $10.00 more, plus shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmaass Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 I shoot two 9x21 Caspians, currently with 115gr JHP at power factor 182 (gun works best at old power factor). Winchester stopped making 9x21 brass a couple of years ago, but there was quite a bit in the pipeline. You can still find it sometimes. I have a few thousand new ones stashed away. I always preferfed Tangfolglio (TF headstamp) brass, as it seemed to last longer and the headstamp made it easy to separate from the (evil) 9x19 brass at the range (much of which is Winchester). I still have 2000 or so new TF brass in Tupperware storage, but no one has imported it to the USA since EAA ran out many years ago now. I had a bad experience with a large soft lot of Starline brass (I still have 1000+ rounds loaded that I cannot fire in my guns), and stocked up on Tanfoglio (TF) 9x21 and Winchester a few years ago. I've not heard of any problems in several years with Starline, but once burned, twice shy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianH Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 I don't know who made the CP Bullets brass, but that stuff was REALLY good....it lasted forever (almost). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
