I took my first reloads to the OKC Gun Club today to practice and I have some observations and questions.
I went to the plinking range and was shooting steel plates at what I *think* is 20 yards. Please correct me on that.
I was shooting three types of 9mm ammo out of my M&P Pro that Olyeller just did the trigger on.
Factory WWB
Reloaded - 125 gr lead coned (J & K) with 4.2 grs of Titegroup to an overall length of about 1.145 (going on memory here)
Reloaded - 124 gr FMJ Montana Gold with 3.5 grs of titegroup to an overall length of 1.135.
The factory and the lead bullets both shot very accurately for me. No failures of any kind with the lead bullets, but I had 3 failures to fire with the WWB, something I've never had with that pistol. The primers were dented, but the bullet didn't fire... any ideas on that? 3 out of only about 30 rounds... I thought that was odd.
The FMJ MG bullets were incredibly inaccurate - or I was incredibly inaccurate with them. I literally missed about every other shot with them. Couldn't hit anything. Anyone know why that is??
I'm quite happy with the lead bullet recipe and will be repeating that. I shot about 200 rounds of it and had great results.
I welcome any comments/suggestions.
