[Adam Helmer]

I have a few P-38s and bought a set of 9mm Luger RCBS dies a few years ago along with some 115 JHP Sierra bullets. Yesterday I finally loaded a few test batches and tested them in a P-38 that did not reliably eject fired cases with 147 grain factory JHP ammo.

I found an accuracy load and all cases ejected with the higher pressure reloads in my "problem" P-38. My groups were great, but I will need to rezero the front sight from 147 grain ammo zero to get POA/POI. After I expend the last of my factory 147 grain stash, I will rezero for the 115 Sierra JHP reload.

I used Unique powder and found the 9mm case no more difficult to load than the small .38 S&W cases for my British 38/200 S&W revolver. One question: does anyone use a taper crimp for the 9mm? I did not and did not have any problems.

Happy Birthday, Gil
