My wife just got her first gun, a Ruger SR9c and loves it (I do too for that matter). It feels great and shoots very good. My question is, how many rounds of factory ammo should go through it before she can start using my reloads? So far she has put through 75 rounds of Federal 115 gr FMJ and all have went off without a hitch. I reload 124 gr cast lead from a Lee TL356-124-2R mold (no resizing, tumble lubed with Alox) with 3.8 gr of Titegroup and these shoot very well out of my SW9VE. Thanks in advance.

Right now would be good---if the gun works well with factory ammo, it should work with your reloads---provided they fit in the chamber---you can hand-cycle a few at the range to make sure they will cycle---don't try this at home. -
agreed.. do it now..Boy the way Glen Miller played, songs that made the hit parade, guys like us we had it made, those were the days, and you know where you were then, girls were girls and men were men, mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again, didn't need no welfare states everybody pulled his weight, gee our old Lasalle ran great, those were the days!

Same as above do it now. I have over 1k rounds through mine and about 700 of those were reloads, not 1 problem yet. People can say all the bad things they want about ruger Semi-autos but my SR9C has been 100% reliable since they day I brought it home. You and your wife made a good purchase id trust my life to that gun any day of the week.Comment

You won't need excuses if she likes shooting her new toy. Just say honey lets go enjoy your new toy some more. By the way good choice I really like shooting my SR9c.Comment

I've been shopping for a 9mm compact. Looked at the Glock 26, XD Springfield 9mm, and the Ruger SR9C. Reviews on each seem to be good.

I started shooting hand loads in my new SR9c as soon as a got some dies -- after only a couple of boxes of S&Bs. They fed just fine, and I noticed that my groups tightened-up a little. This is fast becoming my favorite autoloader!
I typically store it with the slide locked, though, in an attempt to "tenderize" it a little.Comment
