Is there any advantage in pistol to seat as close to the rifling as possible? (Like in precision rifle?)Set OAL for function, go from there.
And you have your answer.

NOPE!Is there any advantage in pistol to seat as close to the rifling as possible? (Like in precision rifle?)
Maybe if you’re shooting Bullseye, dunno. I do know loading OAL for function shoots great.Is there any advantage in pistol to seat as close to the rifling as possible? (Like in precision rifle?)
The obvious question is... If your first box of Sig SD ammo is so important to have, then why was it consumed ?
Now that you have a chrono, you can measure the velocity of 8-10 Sig rounds, then load some RMR bullets of equal weight to the same velocity. That will give you very inexpensive "practice ammo" of equivalent recoil and you won't be consuming the expensive stuff.

That’s also my goal, and good point. If something were to ever come up where I need more than a mag or two of SD ammo, I want JHP’s on hand. (Hence this whole setup as well haha)I will tell you that I have at 500 9mm backup-ammo loaded into nickel-plated cases, and probably that many nickel-plated just hanging around.
What do you mean?Alex, have you tried to polish out the dies? Have you checked your procedure?
put the 124g plated ammo in the carry gun mag and then top off with 5 factory defensive loads each gun.right, and I still have 1/2 a box of the sig defensive ammo left. My problem is having enough defense ammo to go between both my wife and I’s carry guns and spare mags. Hence the looking to load defense ammo for carry. I already have range ammo (plated 124 grain) that match the recoil of my defense ammo, that’s not an issue.

You’re good hahaAh sorry, another post going on about SIG ammo, and I lost my place and got cross footed.

dang! my badabsolutely not. Increasing the chance of pass-throughs, mixed ammo in the mags as a potential for legal consequences, and Point-of-Impact shift to deal with mid-mag. That’s asking for trouble, at least IMO.

Then you may want to start with Berry Hybrid Hollow Point simply based on cost and ability to buy bullets in bulk.That’s also my goal, and good point. If something were to ever come up where I need more than a mag or two of SD ammo, I want JHP’s on hand.
Do they actually expand and perform as a normal hollow point would?Then you may want to start with Berry Hybrid Hollow Point simply based on cost and ability to buy bullets in bulk.

nope! but they are sharped like HP, good training for factory HPDo they actually expand and perform as a normal hollow point would?
Interesting! I’d never heard of them before now. Have loaded their THP rounds, but never the HHP’s.I'd stick with standard HP bullets if at all possible instead of a plated HP. But who knows. I've seen gel tests and they do "decent" I suppose.
They are supposed to, dunno, price would have to be right.Do they actually expand and perform as a normal hollow point would?
