9mm WC

Post by RBHarter »

So 9mm with a full wad cutter .

2016-07-11 10.46.05.jpg
Assorted brass from the five 2.5 Unique " let's just see how it goes" loads . The others are from a magazine full of 3.9 Unique under a 358-125 RNFP . I think the WCC with the very flat primer and the dark WIN at the opposite corner were switched .

Base "well let's see what happens" results.
No stove pipes . In fact they only came back just far enough to not clear the chamber but to stick and hold the slide open on the jammed case .
Since it seems to work ,hand fed anyway , I will continue to sneak up on a functional load .1 at a time . Everything seems to be shooting low and left so at some point the sights have moved on the %@*&$ HP9 , 3" at 25 yd for a 15 yd pistol I can live with but I'll make the adjustment . Both loads shot that way so no problem .

358-125 ,356-124 , unknown 147 gr in question, 358-158, 358432 and 358-200 .
Posted for reference and crimp grooves ......... no the that 358-200 isn't on "well it seemed like a good idea at the time" list.

That 358-200 looks like it would be worth a try in the 35 Rem :)

Plenty to do ,its just that with zero shade when it's much over 95° I don't really care to do it . :)

I was surprised that the dummies would feed in 2 basically factory guns especially such such top shelf specimens as %@*&$ HP9 from a hock shop and a P95 from a FB swap page . Both inexpensive by their own standards.

What the heck if a wide nose on soft lead is good them a full WC should be perfect. Besides I have about 30# of these from a $.30/lb salvage buy and the Alox/bee lube stinks in the pot . They aren't big enough for the 358 Win and the 38s and 357s are in over stock at this time . I could 9 in a 3" 12 ga for pest control I guess , maybe only 3 in a 2.75 .......

This is really a just for fun project as I don't have the mould , I may if this goes well revisit the 358-158 as a drilled HP reduced from 162 to 140.
