Shooter
Shot my first 200 9mm loads today. Yay! Went almost exactly as expected. Zero signs of high pressure, which is every reloaders biggest fear I think at first. I started at 4.1gr and I had only one soft popper, which I kind of anticipated, since these were below minimum. Then I moved up to the 4.2gr (min) box and they shot consistently well. Then I went to 4.3gr and had no real problems, but it seemed accuracy improved.
Only one issue that I need to look into that might require working the load higher. My Glock 26 did not lock the slide back on the last round, ever. I'm betting its double recoil spring requires a bit more pressure. But it fed excellent and was extremely accurate (uh oh, I might become a Glock fan).
Oh, and I had one bullet that wouldn't feed due to the fact that I didn't seat it completely upright. My bad. Does this all sound par for the course? I feel like I done well, especially for having to use IMR, which was tedious to weigh out.
