My 9mm reloading has been (almost) flawless. But when I have a manufacturing "escape" it absolutely always winds up in my wife's gun. I've discovered that my Hornady LNL AP press, set up for 9mm, also excels at assembling 147gr .380 loads. Also discovered that said rounds will chamber and fire just fine in our 9mm 1911s. What they won't do is extract; the case just sits in the chamber thumbing its nose at my wife. This happened at a match on Saturday and today during practice.
Since the first time this happened I've been even more observant when reloading. It's not hard to detect the shorter .380 case if your looking for this sort of thing. It would be a whole lot easier if the cowboy shooters (our practice range) allowed to use .380. They should man/woman up an get a real run chamber in 9mm
Has anyone else done this?
