    Prvi 40S&W JHP - Shape of the bullet

    I'm contemplating purchasing some bulk Prvi 40S&W JHP from Graf to do some reloading. I've been using the the Berry, to some success. In one of my previous post, the bullet wasn't feeding properly due to the sharp angle on the bullet. It was suggested that I seat the bullet deeper and it worked!


    Now, I'm going to try the Prvi JHP for the 40S&W. Anyone here used it? What's the shape of the shoulder or ogive (?). I'll be using it in a Glock 22 OEM barrel but I also have an AccuMatch for the 40, too. If the shoulder it too sharp, I'm going to run into problems feeding again. If I could get my hands on some XTP for about the same price as the Prvi (doubtful) that would be great!
    I'm not having a glass of wine, I'm having SIX. It's called a tasting and it's classy.

      Never loaded the Prvi bullets but it looks a bit steeper than the XTP from the picture on Graf's. Try a hundred of them and see how then run. If they run well, then go balls out and buy a bunch. Set your OAL to 1.125" should be a good start. Sometimes a bit longer at 1.135" will work too.

      Start with your OAL as long as you can and still hand cycle rounds from the mag. Make up 2-3 dummy rounds to do this. NOT LOADED ROUNDS. Then start at the start charge and work up from there.

        Good enough advice for me. I'll put an order through and see what comes up. If it doesn't feed right with the OEM barrel, the Accu-Match should be okay. I'll post a pic of the bullet as soon as I get my order.
