I have been using Bullseye also made by Alliant Powder, may have to try get some Pistol Power and try next time :) Thanks. CC

Update: I found this "article" that has some useful info for anyone curious... http://www.chuckhawks.com/ammo_by_anonymous.htm In a nutshell, for a 9mm Luger... Corbon 115 grain +P Jacketed HP. CC

I used to think that the higher the grain weight the better for a "Defense" load. I then came across a Cor-Bon 90 grain that was advertised as an excellent weight for a defensive load. Now I am a bit confused... what should I be looking for (grain weight wise) when it comes to home defense...

Oh really? Although I thought about that, I then decided I can make very reliable cartridges for CCW purposes by checking, triple checking, weighing etc... but I still see your point. CC

I will experiment with the shell holder (and) powder through expander die and see if this fixes the issue. I will post my results when done :) Thanks for the responses guys. CC

Any way to adjust this? CC

Do you have have any practice methods that you use when going to the range or do you just go to burn off rounds and try to improve marksmanship? I have been going to a local indoor range for 2-3 months now at about 3 times a week average. I burn approximately 100 rounds per visit. Most of my...

I have had the Lee Classic Turret reloading machine and I have been reloading 9mm ammo for about 3-4 months. The Lee is my first reloader and I really like it, although I am planning on purchasing a Dillon in the next 6 months to a year. The problem I am having happens in the final...

Woops, apologies for posting without searching then. I just thought this may be a non-serious issue that may not be commonly addressed. CC

What do you practice with at the handgun range... one eye open (dominant/towards the primary hand) or both eyes open? CC
