kept powder low, I figured these guys would be screaming at 100 grains, pretty sure the copper coating will stay intact
3.5 grains of #2 accurate powder.

finally got a trip to the range in amongst my busy pensioner days
3.5 worked very well and had no feed issues. now to build up 100 and go hurt some dirt

I did find on a side note the 3.5 grains in a 380 shell with these 100 gr bullets was a bit extreme in the kick of the hand meter, in the bersa
this #2 powder seems to burn FAAAASSSSST compared to the #7 accurate powder

anyone see a problem with using 100 grn round nose flat bottom berrys FMJ bullets for range rounds in a 9mm
They wont be loaded nearly as strong as pp rounds, just used for target and exercise. I know the train like you fight and fight like you train adage, which would dictate using 125 Grn bullets and comparable loading to mimic pp rounds, but wasting 125 grn bullets on paper and dirt to me is not frugal
