    LaneP, I have used TiteGroup with good results. Maybe I will just use powder with published data. I don't want to blowup my rifle. Thank you for the voice of reason.

    Resized 9mm with 357mag die.

    So I wasn't paying attention and resized some(300) 9mm with a 357mag die. Can I still use it or do I need to resize it with the 9mm die? I am really embarrassed to share this but it is what it is? Thanks for any information.

    Jonesy, What did you use to stone the parts? Is it an India sharping stone or a fine grit sandpaper?

    I have 4500 factor rounds fired from my 986. Most of it was in DA. SA trigger pull isn't that bad. In DA its pretty smooth just way to heavy, if I had to guess I would say around 15#. If i could get it down to around 10# I would be happy as long as it will fire consistently.
