makarov reloaders

[wingman]

Anyone here reload 9x18.?? I like the little caliber and enjoy reloading/ shooting it, however wish we had a more broad line of bullets, especially hollowpoints.
The hornady xtp 95gr is excellent but would like to see a similiar bullet in
80-85gr. Any thoughts on this and what would it take to get companies
to produce a better range of weights.?

Wingman-Sierra and Speer also have a HP specifically for the makarov?

Speer makes the 90gr hpgd, 95gr. fmj., Hornady the 95gr xtp. Sierra 95hp
and the 100gr fmj.

I have tried all hollow points with good results, like the Hornady best however
it has a wide nose and requires a shorter oal for some mak magazines.

The best "I think" would be in very lite bullets, speed, with lite wt
bullets produce excellent results.
