Hi all, just a few questions about the 9mm side of my Blackhawk convertible..
A while back I picked up a 9mm cylinder that dropped in and timed perfectly in my short barrel .357 3 screw Blackhawk. The .357 cylinder is very accurate (well under 2 inches @ 50 yards) however the 9mm is a whole different animal, Looks more like a shotgun pattern.
It occurs to me that the 9mm bullet is .355 /.356" bouncing down a .357 bore. What tricks don't I know to make the 9mm more accurate? I'm a long time re/hand loader. Thinking about loading a 148 Gr. hollow base wad cutter in a 9mm case for target use and plinkin'
My .45 LC/.45 ACP convertible (also not born a convertible) is accurate with both cylinders using .451" and .452" bullets, Would like to get that kind of shooting out of the .357/9mm convertible, is it possible?
Thanks in advance,
