[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 811793, member: 423"] Has anyone else ever tried this? I read about it somewhere, and thought it was worth a shot. NOTE: I have NO idea if this load is within SAAMI specs, so try at home at your own risk. I usually load my 124gr LRN bullets over 3.4gr Bullseye, for a very soft shooting 9mm in my Sig 228. After thinking about it, I turned them around, seated them backwards just past the lube groove. This left about 1/16" showing above the edge of the case. I started with just 1 @ 3.4 grs, and 2 @ 3.2 grs. I was as curious as anything if they would even cycle in the gun. All three rounds cycled the gun, but neither load locked the slide back. I loaded up 10 more of the 3.2 gr loads, seated the same, and shot them. Again, no jams. Not as clean of holes as I had hoped in the target paper, but seemed to be accurate and consistent, so I don't think they are tumbling. I shot all 10 rounds from 10 yards. Here's what they looked like. [b][Broken External Image][/b] [b][Broken External Image][/b] This picture shows just how short they are, in the mag. There's 10 in there, tried to get them to be visible, but no luck. [b][Broken External Image][/b] Like I said, they cycled and shot! [/QUOTE]
