#FEDERAL 9MM BRASS CRACK#
I don't understand why the brass should crack during sizing. This way you'll have complete control over the length of the finished case, and something a bit longer than. 357 Magnum brass, that seems to me the better way. If you have the capability to quickly cut down. One in 12 misfires is unacceptable no matter what primer is used. I guess the biggest turnoff for me was the balloon head primer pockets constantly yanking the decapping pin out of my sizing die.
I don't recall having any misfires with these. The reach to the primer seems to be about the same as 9mm without the moonclips, and I never get misfires with loose 9mm. And there isn't any unsupported case head like I thought. The bulging in the head area seems to vary from case to case but isn't as bad as I thought it was. Well, I looked at some of the loaded rounds I made a while back with. I would hold out for proper 9mm Federal brass but considering my 940 fires loose rounds of rimless 9x19, that has never been a priority of mine. I think the heads are somewhat expanded because there is a bit of the case head sticking out of the cylinder unsupported. 38 S&W brass in my 940 in a while, but I know I have some loaded rounds somewhere. Does the 9mm Pit Bull headspace and fire loose 9mm cartridges on the case mouth or is the cylinder bored straight through, forcing the use of moonclips? If you are trying to headspace on the rim with a slightly short case I can see how you'll get misfires. You should be able to get away with improper rim dimensions as long as the cartridge headspaces properly on the case mouth the rim is then used only for extraction. 38 S&W? Are there not some headspace issues involved here? Either you need the proper rim thickness with a case that may or may not be long enough or you need a case that is exactly long enough if the rim is too thin. Isn't the rim of 9mm Federal thicker than the rim of either. If so, better for use w/the 'business' loads. I think the 38Super brass would be a bit more HD than 38S&W,but that's just a guess. IIRC they were using a 38S&W sizer die for the work as a custom unit from RCBS was a bit spendy.ģ8 acp/super brass may have been their starting case before Sizing & trimming to length.īeing semi rimmed also,it might(?) work for the 9mmRimmed revolver round with sizing & trimming. I recall an article in Reloader magazine years back on the 9mmBL. I think I have 1 box & a few loose rounds left over.
No FN'03 nor Enfield anymore,but I do have a Webley MkIV 38 that could use it. I shot more of it in the Enfield than the FN's. 380 as the Brits called it) revolver being a semi-rimmed case. I used it for it's intended purpose in a couple FN'03 pistols.īut it also made a great round for the Enfield No2 Mk I (38S&W cal or. They probably bought it as surplus stock from the Norma USA warehouses. I used to buy it for $5/box of 50 (Norma) in a case of 10 boxes from Century Arms.
(Note: I remembered it as 380 Mk II, but in checking, I found that to apply to something else. I've got no clue what the target market was, but the fact that either could be chambered in old breaktops intended for. IIRC, Norma sold a similar cartridge in the early 1970's.
