Hello all.
This weekend I was near a situation where a person had a 9mm cartridge w/ no powder which barely pushed the bullet into the barrel. He then chambered the next round but had to force the slide into battery (so the bullets were touching) and fired it off. Both bullets then hit the paper target.
Although there are no obvious visible problems w/ the barrel, he is VERY concerned about it now.
Wondering if someone w/ Quickload could estimate what the pressure would be in a 9 mm load w/ a 248 grain plated bullet (e.g. 2@124gn) and 3.8 grains of titegroup. Then how does that pressure compare to +P+ loads that the firearm is rated for.
Appreciate the help!
