If by difficult you mean time spent, then yes, bottle necked cartridges are a lot more difficult. Resizing first, trimming, lubing, and then de-lubing adds to the process. For straight wall pistol cases, they run pretty quick through my progressive press.
I have a CW40.
Pros:
- Feels great in the hand with rubber grip
- Slim, easy to conceal
- Simple
Cons:
- 40 is probably too powerful for this gun. 9mm probably would have been a better choice
- My CW40 is very picky with ammo. It likes FMJ bullets, absolutely hates lead reloaded bullets, and...
I made an order a couple of days ago for bullet components. I was disappointed that I was charged $28 shipping for 4000 bullets. They really need to upgrade their online shopping system to include shipping costs. The "shipping guidelines" on the front page weren't even close to what I was...
Saving up and ordering online is still the best bet if you already know what you want. If you have to have it locally, I think all the posts above are still valid. Bass Pro has reloading supplies now, but they are way overpriced. Bailey's has what you want, but not the friendliest place...
Saying that Remington has the same quality as Bushmaster and DPMS is a bit unfair just because they have the same parent company. Remington has always had higher quality products than either Bushmaster or DPMS. It's like saying Lexus and Toyota are of the same quality.
Aside from all the hoopla and marketing, and given that the z-max bullets are considered equivalent to the V-Max bullets, are the z-max bullets just a really good deal?
I'm looking at the 55gr z-max with cannelure and it's almost 25% cheaper than the equivalent v-max bullets. I really don't...
I load clays and MB in 9, 40, and 45. There is indeed quite a bit of smoke with this combination. The same clays load with plated bullets has much less smoke.
I remember trying Titegroup with MB as well, and I also recall lots of smoke. I think it's all about the lube burning up as stated above.
I usually order online and in bulk to save in cost, but on rare occasions do buy locally. If you're on the south side of town, Bass Pro has expanded their selection quite a bit, but is still quite expensive. My preferred shop is Bailey's House of Guns. I don't care for their range much, but...
I know that 9mm conversion barrels exist for other types of hand guns, but do any off the shelf solutions exist to convert a Kahr CW40 to 9mm?
I regular shoot 40 in larger handguns, but I find the cartridge a bit much for the Kahr.
