M&P 9c running AutoComp and 124gr FMJ RN
The Hornady manual shows 4.2 to 4.9gr max and I'm stovepiping with anything less than 4.8. Factory FMJ ammo has no problems. The gun has probably only 300 or so rounds through it, so it is not exceptionally well broken in.
I'm using the Lee carbide three-die set which includes their standard bullet seating die, no additional factory crimping die or anything.
Is this typical for M&P 9c's? I know Hornady has a rep for conservative loads, and the M&P is rated for +P so I'm not worried if I accidentally exceed the 4.9 max by a little, but I'm curious if others have experienced this.
