I got my Lee Classic Loader for 9mm Luger and seem to have some of the wrong components. I ordered 500 led cast and lubes 125gr. CP bullets that are .356. I have Accurate #2 powder and CCI small pistol primers. My brass is Win and Rem target loads I've already fired.
The powder scoop that comes with the Lee loader is .5cc and the table that comes with the loader only mentions Accurate #7 powder to be used with 100gr jacketed bullets and also for 115gr led bullets. the scoop will add 7.7gr of #7 powder. The same scoop adds 4.7gr of Bullseye powder. I don't have a reloading manual yet so I am asking the experts on this forum for now. I don't want to overload a round and damage my gun or myself.
Accurate #2 powder says it is a good target powder for 9mm so I was wondering how many grains of #2 I should use for a 125gr led CP bullet.
Also, I have been repriming empty cases and making wax bullets. These work to shoot the wax bullet out fo the gun with only the primer and no powder. Great for in the garage target shooting. WEll the problem i have been having is the CCI small pistol primers have been unseating themselves about 1/3 of the way after I fire these wax bullets. THis happens about 20% of the time. Any idea on why these primers would inseat themselves? They are fully seated before i fire them off.
Thanks for any help and information guys.
