      Got my mold today! Just cast up around 200. I’ll power coat and load a few tomorrow and do a range test. I’m really hoping that this bullet feeds well. I’ll post a picture of the grouping as soon as I get one.

        Can’t wait to hear your results. What are you going to be shooting them in? I’ll be ordering mine in the next week or so

          Loaded just under 100. Loaded with 3.6 grains of WSF seated to the crimp groove. I will be shooting them out of a CZ P09 and a kriss vector. I’m hoping to get out to the range today.

            So here are the results. The grouping was not bad at all and no feed issues. I will need to power it down just a bit, 1100 out of the vector and 975 out of the cz. I was getting some case bulging. So I will go from 3.6 grains to 3.2 grains wsf. I will say, they are some hard hitting 9mm rounds, we shot a full size steel spinner and was able to spin it in 7 shots from the pistol and 6 from the vector.

              This is the grouping with the vector at 25 yards.

                This is the grouping with the cz p09. The other shots were my sons rapid fire fun shots. Shot from 30 feet.

                  Ahhh man, you beat me to it!  I am dying to cast a pile of those up and shoot em in my 92′ as well as the gp100.

                    Are you loading and shooting them in a 9mm case?  I had not even thought about that–my mind was completely focused on the Rossi 92 in .357/38.

                      Totally loaded in 9mm case! When I saw this mold come up, I had to have one for my 9mm. My primary intentions were for my son’s vector, but they do really well out of my cz p09 as well. Like I said earlier, I do need to power them down just a little bit and that should tighten  up the grouping. We are intending on using them only on stages that have pistol spinners. Normally we shoot a 130g round nose at about 1000 fps, it’s just doesn’t quite have enough punch for a spinner. But these 155g are pounders out of a 9mm, they make a nice pop when they hit steel. I will load up a few more at 3.2 grains tomorrow and see how they do. I will see about adding a link to a video when I shoot them. Sweet bullet!!

                        That’s cool, thanks for sharing.  And yes! if you can do a video that would be awesome.

                          This is not a video on me shooting that new bullet, it more of a test to see if the link works. But it is a video of my vepr 12 shotgun that I have spent countless hours of time tinkering with in hopes to get it to cycle low brass bird shot. Yes, I did finally succeed. It was snowing like crazy today here in twin falls so hopefully tomorrow will be a range day.

                            I have a couple saiga 12’s that I modified to run low brass.  I shoot clays with my 24″ barreled saiga.

                              Here is a short video on the bullet in action. Dropping the charge to 3.2 grains worked very well, no more case bulging and still maintained a decent speed. Correction to one of my last posts after I went back through my crony log, the 3.6 grains were moving at 1050 out of my cz not 975.

                                thanks for posting that video!  I ended up casting about 1k of these this last week.  Powder coated em last night and hope to size them tonight.  I’m going to mostly be using them as a plinker bullet for the Rossi92.
