Thread: Reloading for 9mm pistol

If you are thinking of shifting house.... watch how many projectiles you stock up on. A few thousand is rather heavy yes I know, I just need to shoot more.....

My mix is 124gn rusa flat nose, small rifle primers (have used federal, fiochi, cci - all ok), vit N320 powder, and a real mix of brass - what ever factory I brought for a start and some once fired I brought for a rather good price.
And a dilion 650

Did try some as30 and 50, but way to dirt for my slack cleaning program. With the n320, after about 1500 -2000, I give may clean. After about 150 with as, it looks like you've dumped it in wet graphite powder. And I found it didn't meter well, but also didn't try to sort that as I swapped back pretty quick.
I will be looking at adi powders when I get low on vit though (but is a bit pricey And sometimes difficult to get)

You'll find that ap100 will be too slow for 9mm. You'll need a lot of powder to get any decent velocity and it probably won't all burn up. I used to use it in 38 super to make major but wouldn't bother in a 9mm when you can use half as much powder by going to a faster burn rate like ap50/70 to make minor.
