In preparation for a range day I did an inventory of my ammo stores. What I found was depressing. When the shelf is sparse what else can you do but get busy on the reloading press?
My preferred 45acp target load is a 200 grain semi wadcutter. I load these light for reduced recoil making this load fun to shoot. I use this for teaching beginners and brand new shooters.
The supply of 9mm ammo on the shelf was very low as I haven’t had my M&P9c very long. I loaded up a few boxes of both full metal jacket and lead round nose for testing.
I prefer shooting cast lead simply because it is cheaper. Before I ordered a 9mm bullet mold I wanted to be certain my gun was going to like a cast lead bullet so I bought a box a the gun shop.
After testing on Saturday my gun has given me the green light on using cast lead bullets.
