My first reloads!!!

I remember the anticipation and surprise when I shot my first reloads and they all went bang and my gun didn't blow up! Bam, instant addiction.
Great folks here on the High Road, welcome and please stay safe.

Well I think I found the load that works best for my pistols. Berry’s 9mm 124gr HBFP with 5.3gr accurate #5. I still want to tweak it a little bit with the OAL. But with the suggested OAL that worked the best. That was with my vp9. My g19 has to in almost the same hole and one about a 1/8”off from those two.

Shootin - if you only change one variable at a time, you'll have an easier time of it. If you try different powders, make them all mid-range in the load data and keep the same OAL, Bullet, Primer. Or, use one powder and tinker with one other variable. No matter what - only keep ONE powder ever open and on the bench at a time. That way you'll never lose track of what's in the measure, or on the scale, or in those 100 cartridges you just finished.
