Thread: 9mm pistol and carbine help

Hi Seano.
Heaps of good 9mm powders out there.
Choose one that's well priced and normally available. Google what's good and clean ish. I use Hi-Skor X700 in 9mm but only because I have shit loads of it and got it super cheap of Trade Me.
Bill Wright for Frontier Projectiles. 9mm Restrike 124gn Flat Points CMJ's. Try some and see what shoots best. I have shot probably 100k through pistols and about 1k through my 9mm AR15 (500 per week now). Well priced and accurate.
CCI small rifle primers. I don't bother with small pistol primers. Rather just buy and use a single type of primer. I shoot major in 38 super as well and small pistol primers fail under the pressure.

My 9mm carbine load currently is:
4.5gn Hi-Skor X700 (Meters ok but ball powders are better).
9mm Restrike 124gn Flat Points CMJ's
CCI small rifle primers
27.0mm OAL. Check length in your rifle. Manually put round on bolt face under extractor with upper off your lower and make sure bolt closes fully. If not seat projectile deeper.
They run about 1300 fps out of my 16" barrel.
Medium pressure load.
Very accurate.

Good luck.
