I just bought a XL650,9mm dies, primmer flip tray from Dillon a few days ago. It is supposed to be at my house in a few days.
I am currently reading FAQ/Pinned and 9mm/38 threads on BrianEnos and here and trying to get as much info as i can before i start buying powder,bullets, and primmer.
I shoot a 5" M&P CORE W/ Vortex Viper red dot. Currently shoot in CO, so minor 125 power factor is what I am interested in. I have been talking to a master shooter and he said 124gn bullet would be ideal to make minor sense it will take less powder to make the 125pf.
I want to try to get the softest shooting loads while being reliable. I have a screw in my Scaphoid( wrist bone behind the thumb) on my strong hand.
BULLETS! I have searched Bear Creek Moly, Montana Gold, Xtream, Bayou, Percision Delta, Black Bullets, Blue Bullets, Zero, Acme, Berrys, and Everglades. I noticed the moly bullets and some others were much cheaper than copper plated and was wondering if the copper plated was worth the extra. Also had a question about the difference in heavy plate concave base and round nose? I am leaning towards Xtream 124 RN for $39 for 500. It will be my first purchase so I will be getting free shipping. Just waiting for them to have a 5% sale on 124gn bullets so I can buy a few thousand.
POWDER! I have done some research and looked at posted load data. I found out there was certain powders used by many shooters; TiteGroup, Bullzeye, Unique, 320, Clays, WST and HP-38. First property of the powder I want is soft shooting. Next is cost, and how it fills.
PRIMMERS! Federal small pistol seems to be everyones go to, but is very hard to find in stock anywhere. CCI is my next choice. Because of the Hazardous material shipping charge I would prefer to buy Powder and Primmers locally form a shop or individual.
