Cartridge re-build

Just curious why you loaded 115 instead of 124 or 147 gr projectiles?

Do you have another 9mm gun you could try them in? What gun do they fail to cycle in? I had loaded a bunch of 45 years ago that would not cycle in my XD-45 and I just threw them in a bag marked em light loads and found out later they would cycle fine in my 1911 and G21!

Just trying to save you some work!

I ran them in my FNS9 and would get a FTF every 3rd or 4th round. I ran them in a Hi-Point and EVERY other round got a FTF (but it could have just been the Hi-Point). The rounds with the CFE ran beautifully. On another note, the FNS didn't like Federal loads either.

At the time, all I could find were 115's. I have 1000 rounds of 124's now.

Gotcha.

Good move. I load the Bayou 125 with 4.5 grn of Unique. I have lots of Unique!

Getting a nice supply to reload was the direct result of getting the wife a nice 9MM of her own (Ruger SRC9). Now she's been grabbing 100 rounds at a time from my stock pile and doesn't complain when I order more.

Do you need any 9MM brass to reload? I have 300 pcs of Nickel left since transitioning to a 38Spl. revolver
