    Reloading for 9mm, worth it or not?

    I've been thinking about buying a full size (all steel) CZ75 in 9mm for steel target shooting. I have a Springfield XD40 Sub Compact now and I reload reduced loads with 175 cast bullets. I used 4.4 grains of Power Pistol behind this bullet and the load is pretty accurate and soft shooting...

    Lengthening rounds that are too short?

    Well, in all of the cast bullet loads I worked up for my XD40 cal., I never had a FTF. I found a load that was very accurate and loaded 450+ rounds and have now found that they don't feed worth a hoot. They're too short and hang up on the feed ramp. So, can I buy an inertia puller, put some...

    Lead vs. copper clad bullets

    I've been reloading West Coast copper clad and "Accu Cast" Oregon Bullet lead bullets in my 40 cal XD. The copper clad was something new to me as there was no such thing years ago when I reloaded for my 44. Just lead or jacketed. The prices are pretty close on these bullets. Is there any...

    Easy feeding & accurate powder for L-N-L

    I'm reloading for my .40 S&W on my old Rock Chucker and have an old Pacific powder measure. I'm using Unique. I'm probably going to buy a Hornady Lock N Load as loading a lot of handgun ammo is becoming a drag. My micrometer style Pacific throws pretty accurately but I have a specific...
