First, I am looking for a non-lee 9mm crimp die that i can borrow from someone. I am having some problems with some 9mm reloads and starting to wonder if it is my crimp die.
Second, does anyone either have some extra silhouette pistol powder or know where in town that i can buy some? It is something that i want to try but can't find a small container locally. |

I am having some problems with some 9mm reloads and starting to wonder if it is my crimp die. using both a glock 17 adn 26. the FMJ reloads shoot find but the plated loads always shoot low. tried differnet combinations of seating depth and powder charges to no avail. measured the outside of the loaded round and it was close to the FMJ rounds. someone said to try another crimp die becouse they thought the lee might be swagging the bullets some. |
