I have the Lyman Gen 6 and have dropped about 3000 loads with it. All have been for 9mm and 40 cal so the grains are quite small compared to folks who load for rifles. I like the size of the Gen 6 vs the Gen 5 and I don't need any sort of memory for load information. The Gen6 has been very...

I have the Lyman Gen 6 and have dropped about 2000 loads with it. All have been for 9mm and 40 cal so the grains are quite small compared to folks who load for rifles. I like the size of the Gen 6 vs the Gen 5 and I don't need any sort of memory for load information. The Gen6 has been very...

I had to watch the end of Captain Phillips, very good movie. All of the Sierra's are right on .355. They do have a very "high" shoulder compared to the Hornady XTP's of the same weight. Sierra: -Base of bullet to start of shoulder: .340 (avg.) -Width of tip: .227 Hornady XTP: -Base of bullet...

I'm going to keep an eye on this thread as well. I just purchased the same bullet, but in the 124gr. I can't get them seated to pass the plunk test on my Walther PPQ 9mm. I tried to seat them all the way down to 1.030 and still no go. I've concluded the shape of the Sierra JHP is not for me...

That is a very nice piece of work. I love all the technology that can be used in reloading and shooting. I'm a tech person and its part of what I enjoy about shooting, optics, reloading, chrono, etc... To each his own for sure and I am using an extremely complex Excel workbook to track...

I finally had some time to try the ideas from this thread. I did some reading on how to set the Hornady taper crimp die and tightened up the crimp. To my delight this seems to have resolved my problem !!! It did not seem to matter what I used for an OAL, all my no-powder rounds fit the PPQ M2...

A few points to add. One is, I don't know what I was thinking when I said "roll crimp", jeez my bad, I taper crimp my 9mm. I have been using a fairly short OAL lately because my new Walther PPQ M2 is crazy picky. I can go 1.130 with round nose, but hollow points require 1.115 or less...

So many great ideas, thanks to all. I had to make a quick trip to Indianapolis so I can't try until Sunday or Monday. I wouldn't be surprised if the final roll crimp is the problem. I have never adjusted it since day 1.... I have this problem with power pistol, titegroup, bullseye and...

I've been struggling with this for a while so I hope to get some help. Specs: 9mm loading, Hornady single stage LNL press (9 months old). Hornady New Dimension Nitride taper crimp dies (9 months old). Brass: Once fired Blazer, WCC, F.C., Win, cleaned and primed with CCI & Win. I size...

I put a lot of my 9mm reloads back thru the the PPQ barrel for the plunk test and I'm finding some are too wide at the base to seat properly. Its not the length of the cartridge but the base width. So I'm wondering if my Hornady resizing die is not doing its job? I have it set so the shellplate...

TwMaster, is any of the ammo you shoot reloads ? or is it all factory ?

I have been reloading for my 9mm PPQ M2 w/4" for several months now and I can tell you I've got no other 9mm with such a short "throat". It requires some very short OAL reloads depending on the bullet/projectile shape. I've found that Nosler JHP's are very troublesome with this...

Funny. I did not have any problem finding those JHP's from Nosler online, now I know why. I am making all of them for my brother who has a Glock that shoots them fine. I just have to keep them medium length for him. I also found a nice photo online showing various bullets and their shape...

I really enjoy shooting it. Right out of the box it is crazy accurate and the trigger is super smooth. I actually double fire it once in a while due to light trigger pull, but since I'm shooting paper it is no big deal. I am struggling with the OAL for my hand loads but it has taught me a...

I am finding this thread quite useful. I have a new Walther PPQ M2 in 9mm and it requires some very short bullets depending on the shoulder shape. I had all sorts of problems with Nosler HP's as they have an almost square shape, whereas Hornady HAP or XTP's have a sharp angle from shoulder to...

Is that entire room dedicated to reloading? It is awesome, a real piece of work.

+1 to Edster12: http://www.lowes.com/pd_215726-20097...ums&facetInfo= I added a long hose so it can sit off to side of bench and still reach opposite side and the floor. It has good suction, but not so good as to pick up unwanted items on my bench....
