So I just got some lead bullets and this is the first time Ive tried my hand at lead. Ive loaded countless fmj's but I thought it was time to broaden my horizons. Ive got several manuals and quickload. Im coming up with some load data. Right now Ive settled on
9mm
Case: military surplus once fired
Bullet:MBC 115 gr LRN "Parabellum"
Primer:WSP
Powder:5-5.5 gr Unique
COAL:1.120
I will start at 5 grains and work up to 5.5.
Is this a sound plan?
In quickload I made a bullet profile for the MBC Im loading, however all that is from what I can tell is bullet length, weight and diameter. Can quickload tell the difference between a lead ball and an fmj? Is there a value for lead I need to enter somewhere?
