flat point bullets

[ireload]

awsome ! thanks for the info ireload ! im planning to load these for my M9 so its nice to hear they're functioning well through your 92 [:

Welcome. Forgot to add that's just a tad above the minimum listed powder charge from Speer #12 manual so it's not going to batter your M9 slide. Unique gives a bit more velocity than the W231 which I use to use before I made the switch over many years back.

LSWC makes better holes in paper.

Yep. And full wadcutters make an even better hole but they probably won't work in a 9mm.

In my experience the larger meplat of a flat point does seem to work on steel targets a little better than a round nosed bullet. I'm a bit skeptical that makes any difference for punching holes in paper with a 9mm.

Well, I've been shooting 115gn and 125gn L-SWCs in my various 9x19s (from stock pre-WWII P-08s and WWII P-38s, through S&W, Browning, CZ75s, and 1911s) without issue.

So i finally got a chance to shoot my reloads today with the flat points, and man are they amazing ! they make nice, visible holes in paper and i think i will stick to them. thanks for all the feedback guys, i appreciate it !
