Don't change the die, seat the RN and see what the COAL length winds up at. Then change to a RN bullet of the same weight. Set your seater to load a pointed bullet at industry standard max length. Sometimes its just the length that bullet winds up at when seated normally.Īn example of this is RN vs Spitzter. Sometimes, it is something specific to the bullet, for a good reason. If you are below that, you aren't "loading long".Īny time you find a listed "Max" length that differs from the industry standard, I think it is prudent to find out why. My 1970 Lyman book says 1.169" max loaded length for 9mm Luger, Speer #12 says 1.135" for 115 TMJ ball and I think I was loading long (without getting into the lands) to reduce peak pressure. Note the COL (1.140") was longer than what you wrote. So yes, it looks like too much powder in the case but they shot fine.
Sorry to ramble so badly! I loaded some 115 grain Berry's plated ball with 7.5 grains Blue Dot and they shot fine, no untoward noise / recoil / cases did not eject into orbit, and bullets went more or less where they were aimed (the "less" part of that was me).

pdf of their manual listed numbers close to that. The Alliant website does list 8.5 grains with 115 grain bullets, and an old. I also found a 5-lb jug of Blue Dot with maybe a pound left in it, and it smelled ok. Recalling that I used to load 125 grain jacketed soft points from a now defunct outfit named Star Bullets, from Wideners, I went to my loading notebook and found that load. Are there any cautions I should be observing?Ī few weeks ago they re-started the "fun" steel matches at my club, and I was looking for some 9mm ammo in my closet. I have never had a handgun case this full, nor any that compressed at all, including. I took a case that measured to "trim to" size of 0.744" and filled it with 8.5gr. I had to reset the seat to push the bullet further into the powder charge to get to 1.060."Īlliant lists 8.5gr of Blue Dot for a 115gr JHP.
Blue 9mm bullets full#
I loaded a round with 6.9gr and found the bullet seating was retarded by what struck me as a pretty full case. Lyman's 50th guide lists 7.1gr as max while the Alliant site lists 7.9gr as max for the 124gr bullets they used. My first pursuit was to load 9mm Luger Berry's 124gr Defensive Hollow Point bullets at 1.060" COL. I generally use Blue Dot to load 16-GA shotshells, but that is so minimal that I decided to use it up in handgun loads. I opened one there is no acrid odor and no powder dust suggesting deterioration. I have 2-never opened 1-lb canisters of Blue Dot that carry a price tag of $7.40.
