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...

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...

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...

I am loading my first 40 S&W rounds. Working up some 155 GR plated RN. Using Bulleseye. Here is my question. I have read from other threads that the proper OAL is determined from dropping the round in the barrel of the gun, reducing the OAL untill it spins freely. The MAX OAL listed for this...

Well I took some more test rounds to the range this after noon. I had successfully loaded missouri bullets for my 9mm cz 75b earlier. They were 147 gr bullets. So I made samo varying loads for the 125 gr that I had ordered as well. When I racked the gun to chamber a round, it chambered without...

Well I am new to reloading and have benefited greatly by this forumn. Last night was shooting various loads through two different 380 pistols. Less than 50 rounds all together. 2 misfires from each gun. Came home and pulled them apart, wondering if i forgot powder. They were normal loads. I...

So am I missing soething. Did my first 9mm loads. no problem. On to 380 and the lowest setting, #30, measure 3.2 of hp38. That is the max load for my 95 gr FMJ. Some references call for up to 3.9 nut most say 2.7 min 3,2 max. Is there a trick to getting smaller measures out of the lee...

Well, Ups just dropped it off. Lee turret press. Lots of gadgets to put together. Going to be a long night. Questions to follow.

I have been reading for a month or so now and figured out what I wanted to get to reload and then ran across a friend that uses the same lee turret press. He showed me a few things and has given me some pointers on what to buy. Needless to say my head starts spinning as I read and surf hours on...
