I Give Up on the P08

[skeeter4206]

Talking about O.A.L, it surprised me just how much of a difference in length old 9mm (DWM) versus modern ammo. At least what I have been shooting lately as 9mm aint exactly easy to get what you want anymore. Its almost 2mm shorter than 1917 DWM brand rounds that I have put away. I wonder if thats my issue, as mine jams pretty frequently with that ammo. I'm trhinking its remington, its got R-P on the bottom of the casing.

Skeeter:

I bet you can fire a magazine loaded with only 5 round with no problem at all.

Hi Rich, Lyman makes a 122 gr. truncated cone cast bullet mold.. it's been around forever and might be one of their all time best sellers... RCBS makes basically the same bullet mold, only it has a slight radius at the metplat ... nice bullets, and they work well...both of them.. look kinda neat also....... best to you, til..lat'r...GT

GT:

The Lyman has much too short of a bearing surface, as compared to the one caliber bearing surface of the RCBS mold. This causes the Lyman bullet to "jump" to the rifling,vs, being right on it. Accuracy is much better for me with the RCBS mold.
