I'm driving myself crazy here with trying to get a reload that works for me in my 9MM taurus slim.
I've reloaded 380, 38 spl, 40, 45 with one or two trips to the range and I was happy with 100% success.
For some reason I can not get my 9MM loads 100%.
I'm loading CCI Mag SPP 124 gr FMJ with titegroup powder. I've used anywhere from 4.0 to 4.2 grains and set the COL at 1.35 and also 1.1
No matter where I set it I do not get 100% out of 100 round test.
I get maybe 5-7 FTF and a one FTE out of each 100 I test as an average.
Now I thought maybe It was me limp wristing or maybe it was the gun soft strike.
Well to test that theory I've shot hundreds of rounds of factory ammo with zero failures. If I load the mag with say two reloads, then one factory, etc.. I get no failures. But if I go all reloads.. Maybe one FTF every other magazine. Its not the same magazine that does it each time, there is a clear strike on the reload. If I load the unfired round a second time it fires so ammo is good. Now I like the load it has the same recoil as the factory and I'll have to say my aim is getting terrific after shooting so much. LOL I usually still have one round that still won't fire after about 3 attempts and I just bring it home.
Just to mention someone might think hard primer and because there the same primers I've used in all my SPP loads with no issues and its happening each trip I have rulled that out. I mean its not 100% impossible but I dont think thats it.
Its making me crazy. LOL
My thoughts are I think maybe either a different gun or someone try my reloads (which I know we shouldnt do) or someone using titegroup let me shoot 100 of your reloads, I'll pay for them of course just to compare what your load is and how it works.
