Re: New guns!
I have seen other posts showing similar, and the only common thing was it was only when using PPU. Perhaps there was a bad batch of it made that is still floating around? The P64 does not have a fully supported chamber. No problem though, since it does not have the pressure of guns that are known to...

Re: Best source for 9x18 Bullets
Rob, prices at Graf's have gone up. Just checked it tonight because it didn't sound right to get 500 MO bullets for cheaper than MO Bullets sells them for on their website. Sorry, just checked again and noticed I was signed in as a dealer from having the C&R that caused me to get a P-64. Try ht...

Re: Best source for 9x18 Bullets
I think this thread drifted off course a little. Asking about bullets in "reloading" section, and I think that means bullets, not completed ready to fire rounds of ammo. I know, some confuse Bullets with ammo, but they are not the same. As to bullets, doesn't seem to be a lot of choices, s...

Re: Chronograph Results
My ProChrono results using 95gr Berry's Plated bullets and W231 powder, which ends up costing about 12 cents a round (Graf C&R discount bullet 6.5 cents, powder gun club 1.5 cent, primer gun club 3 cents, 9mm luger brass priced at $50 for 1000 trimmed to .706 and reloaded 5 times for 1 cents ea...

Re: New Member with a sad story
That sounds almost exactly like what happened to me a couple weeks ago. Have fired hundreds of rounds through before trying this new method. Now I no longer trust this safety system, so don't use it or keep gun in a manor that requires using safety. Posted in another thread about concealed carry, an...

Re: Buldged Cases
The famous unsupported chamber area known for Ka-Boom's is with Glock 40 S&W, which have around 50% more case pressure than the 9x18 Makarov does. Even the 9mm Luger round has around that same high case pressure, but generally no issues with bulges. However, most of the Glock 40 S&W with uns...

Re: Time to upgrade the old 8" for more recoil
Nice.
A quick look at Hodgdon shows you should be around 1600fps with that heavier round and Lil'Gun. Any noticable bullet creep?

Re: Time to upgrade the old 8" for more recoil
Yep, reloading. Remington Core-Lok 385gr are great, but for best bang for the buck, mostly will use Berrys Plated 350gr (20 cents Grafs). Unlike most plated bullets, the 500 S&W Berrys can be fired at up to 2100fps. Started with A5744 but full case would only get me to around 1500fps. Slow enoug...

Time to upgrade the old 8" for more recoil
After 154 years, the Remington is getting a little tired.
Seeing how recoil is a part of the P-64 discussion, figured this would be along those same line. Upgraded from 44 (.457) to a 500 S&W.

Re: How to carry...
Trying the one in the chamber with safety on, and ran into a problem. Preparing to fire, turned off safety, cocked hammer, and the gun instantly went off. Pistol jumped out of my hand onto ground. As usual, it was safely pointed downrange. I am almost positive hammer was all the way back to click an...

Re: Reloading Converted 9x19 Brass Question
While I have not tried it, I read that due to the 9x18's larger diameter, the fired 9x18 brass will not go into a 9x19 sizing die without a fight (.365+ vs .355). If that does not happen, the next step of expanding would not flare mouth enough with the reduced depth of the 9x18, which should set off...
