9mm loads with Clays

GOATSNGUNS · 08-16-2014, 12:48 AM

Loaded up 32 rounds of 9mm 115 gr. Win FMJ/HB with 3.5 gr. of clays with a COL of 1.170", using a light Lee factory crimp. Fired 16 in the PO8 and 16 in the P38. No signs of high pressure, but had numerous stove pipes and FTF in both guns. The primers all looked good, no pressure signs. I have two mags for the PO8 and one Mag for the P38, same results with both the PO8 mags. I did not have time to set up the chronograph but recoil was mild. I will have to duplicate these and fire over the chronograph before upping the charge weight. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary
