I don’t think that it has to do with diameter since other bullets shoot fine. And vice versa with the full size nine.
I had wondered if crimp could be the cause of my problem. I pulled one bullet to compare it to others and play with drop tests and the bullet was deformed from the crimp...
I have a new carry gun (bersa bp9cc) that I wanted to load some hotter loads to practice with. I bought some berry 124 RN and loaded 5.0 gr of unique (this I had crono at 1150 FPS out of a full size 9mm). out of the bersa 9mm it key holed, so I loaded a lighter 4.7 and it still keyholed. The...
I purchased the Lee 4 Hole Turret Press with Auto Index Deluxe Kit a few months back. 117.00 not bad. I have not had any problems and find no problem with the scale either. I am admittedly new and dont know anything other that what I decided to buy. So far 300o rounds and it was a good...
bds I did no mean it like that. I get a kick out of many threads. The answer is given and then little by little a little deviation come in, sometimes down right arguments. I realize that is a result of people that are passionate about the subject and have been active in it for a long time. I...
I am not sure how this thread got to where it is, but just to be clear I did not think (nor do I) that the bullet is the problem.
I appreciate the comments. the responses to questions on the forumn are simply amazing.
I have been watching videos on slugging the barrel. Ill have to get a few things with my next order (there is no end of ordering). I dont cast yet but will slug and cast to the proper size.
Thanks

I have not had any problem keyholing before this out of the cz. Though I have had o make some oal adjustments to the 125 rn from mbc.
I am going to start casting this winter. I have everything set and ready to go at it. The only mold I have thus far is a 125 gr lee mold that I bought off...
bds. How did you get picture of my target? At least that is exactly what mine looked like. I think I have had explaine to me this portion of the mystery.
Well the wife just walked in laughing at me because I got out of bed to come see if there was any more input. She shoots all the bullets I...
bds. that makes sense.
I was shooting at paper on a brand new backboard at our gun club. When I noticed it keholing on the paper, I shot the pristine backboard just to make sure of what I was seeing.
Yes, I did a drop test and it did fine. I dont have a cronograph yet, but it is in my next purchase. I have not inspected the gun yet. I have fired less than 100 rounds since cleaning it last week. I think that keyholing usually results from problems with the barrel, which is why I dont...
Most of my reloads have beent towards my cz75b 9mm. I have reloaded mostly lead bullets that i but from MBC.
My favorite so far is the 125 gr cone from MBC. I have shot a couple hundred loaded with 3.7 gr of HP38 with an oal 1.09 with good results. I wanted to increase the loads some, so I...
Scout,
Never thought about that bit about the magazine. Yet something else to check.
You were talking about volume in the big case. When I load 38 special I am really amazed to see how little powder (bulleye) is in there. I have to pull the case off the shellholder to see it.
Thank you for the expalnations and external reading.
bigedp51 you seemed to give me the info I was looking for and I nearly lost it when I read about the worst kind of headspace.
Thanks for the replies
Thanks for the comments they were very helpfull.
Rcmodel.....I dont see how you deduced that from my post. I just got the glock and just started loading for it. So no I did not load 2500 hundred rounds before shooting any.
I do have Hp 38 as well and will try both to see the difference...
A term I have heard since the days in the army, I have never fully wrapped my head around headspace.
Do you have any links to explain headspacing and the importance of it.
I searched THR and could not really find it. Maybey you know the thread I might be looking for.
Much appreciate...
