Using lead vs FMJ in 9 MM

Roadkill · 02-21-2005, 08:28 PM

I finally got a recipe for my Thor restored 1918 Erfurt that works. The OAL is much longer than what I use in my other 9mms. I gave up on lead bullets and use 115g fmj with 5.9g red dot. My Radom, Wa'd HP, and BYF 44 P38 will shoot anything that will fit in the chamber, lead or fmj. The P08 snaps like a rat trap with the load I mentioned. Took me long enough to figure it out.
