Weather was windy and snow today so got some reloading accomplished.
9mm 125gr FP. Got to thinking about how much this pile is worth according to internet prices.....A lot!

Loaded a bunch of .223 this snowy Sunday, the thought did cross my mind: I could fund another Reeder gun if I sold this stuff at scalpers prices......not a chance!

What bullet are you loading in those photos

I’ve used both the 9mm and the .45 225 gr FP. Both are good.

Brent, have you checked the OAL of that cartridge with those

bullets? I have used maybe a hundred of them that someone either sent me or they were in an estate we bought out and for them to be at my set OAL of 1.15 I had to seat them right at .010 from where the taper starts. I noticed that yours are probably .065 or .070 from where the taper starts. Not saying your loading is wrong but in my guns that would be too long to go in the magazine. The company may have changed the design of the bullet and made the nose a bit shorter in the years since I tried them. If they fit in your magazine, just disregard this post.

Must be different. I mistyped weight, they are 124 gr not 125, but that’s nothing.

in the past and then had to go back and seat the bullet just a tiny bit deeper so they would fit in the magazine. My fuggup.

No problem. Thanks for watching out
