Anybody doing 9mm SWC?
I have some 358-140 grain SWC bullets I cast. I've sized them to 0.356 intending to try them in 9mm. I haven't gotten around to loading them yet. Too many irons in the fire. I'll give a report when I load and shoot 'em.What you guys working with for 9mm target loads? trying to stay away from Berry’s a bit. Anybody doing 9mm SWC?
I been have great results with WST .. I shoukd try WSF thenThis is a load I gleaned from the BE forum. Supposedly it can do sub 2” groups at 50 yards. It’s a 147g XTP with 4g of WSF at 1.142”. I ordered 600 XTPs this week so we will see once I set up the RR. The de facto powder for 9mm accuracy is PP but I don’t care for the blast or recoil impulse.
30 yards? that’s crazy, on a rest?This is 20 rounds out of a SA prodigy at 30 yds. Rmr 135 mw with silhouette. I spent probably 15 mins developing this load. I literally picked 3 different charge weights, loaded maybe 15 rds each and shot them at cardboard box in the backyard. I picked the one I liked best.

I really want to lead up my gun with SWC. they make really clean holesThere are lots of options out there. Any of the common bullets don't suck otherwise people wouldn't be buying them. I usually go with RMR jacketed bullets or my own cast bullets. I have some of the 105 grain EFMJ bullets GeoDudeFlordia mentions that were bought at the same timeframe, but almost out now...
I have used cast 105 and 140 grain Lee SWCs. I prefer the 105's and have got them up to 1350 FPS with good results.
Even one is rocking the N320!!!147 grain cast on top of 3.6 grains of N320. Round nose for Targets and HP for load up mags.
Yes, they are excellent!The most accurate 9mm bullet I've used, not for Bullseye shooting, has been the RMR 124gr MatchWinner...usually over a load of N320
