9x18 Makarov, anyone loading this?

So whats your load data? And where do you source your cheap bullets?

With the current price, even for steel cased ones, Im thinking of reloading this caliber using prep 9mm brass.

I think Bumslie has been making Mak brass out of 9mm Luger. If he does not see this soon PM him.

Hi

I'll check my notes for load data in a bit.

I bought cast bullets from Missouri bullet company.

9x18 was my first reload caliber. When it comes to reforming 9mm Luger cases you cut it down a bit, expand it so it's straight walled instead of tapered, and the brass should be a little thicker then regular Makarov brass. The cast lead runs better in rifled barrels like the P-64 or Makarov. CZ 82 though not so much.

If you want to cast your own, Lee makes a .365 mold for 100 gr. pills.
