    9mm Gallant 125 GN Lead Reload Problems

    I feel like I'm getting pretty short on the COAL with 1.110", but I guess I need to go deeper....

    9mm Gallant 125 GN Lead Reload Problems

    Loading up some rounds for my new Sig Macro, my first 9mm - 125 grain coated lead round nose bullets by Gallant bullets. I pulled load data from my hornady reloading manual for 124 grain round nose copper projectiles - 1.150" COAL & 4 to 5 grains of unique. As far as I understand it, lead vs...

    Best 9mm Carry Round

    The xmacro has a comp, so the +p probably won't be much more recoil than the standard pressure - hotter loads get more of a recoil reduction. Maybe I'll take your advice and get the +p version. I carry it in everything else and lets face it, the 9mm isn't a powerhouse. I also carry a 10mm...

    Best 9mm Carry Round

    Looking at lucky gunner data, HST seems to win over gold dots. Both are used by police-probably cant go wrong either way. HST: 124 gn beats 147, with the exception of the 147+p. The 147+p penetrates "too much" and is only slight more penetration than the 124 anyway - not worth the recoil...

    I've settled on 124 grain standard pressure HST. Any decent places to buy 50 or 100? Thanks!

    Bulk Lube, Tumbling, and Case Mouth Lubrication

    Loading a few thousand 9mm and 5.56 rounds - non precision loads. Questions: 1. What lube should I use? Thinking either Hornady One Shot or the Dillon Lanolin based lube. Probably doesn't matter, but I think the Hornady might be easier to clean off by tumbling after resizing. 2. How...

    I've tuned rifles to shoot 1" at 400 yards - you're not far off regarding perfect loads.

    Some people enjoy reading about such things and playing with testing.

    Wrong. You can train and carry a reliable bullet.

    Best 9mm Carry Round

    This stuff looks very good. Part of me still feels like I'm falling for snake oil thought. Don't hear of any PDs using it, which is a little telling - but the government typically isn't at the forefront of technology.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig P365 XMacro Light

    So I called Streamlight when they were open and figured out what I need to do to get the TLR7 Sub on the Xmacro - send them an email and they will send me a special attachment piece. I assume that this piece will make the light attachable to any gun with a picatinny rail? Correct...
