- # This is probably a silly question but, is there any problem with
- # reloading 9mm with .357 JSP bullets? I tried a few rounds and
- # though they are shorter & shaped differently from 9mm JSP bullets,
- # they fed ok in my Hi-Power. The Speer .357JSPs are somewhat cheaper
- # (where I shop) than Speer 9mm JSPs & I would like to load a lot up
- # to break in my Hi-Power.

- Well, it's been a few years, but I remember reading an article or
- 2 in the gun mags (G&A?) about doing this and also about going
- the other way. If your Hi-Power is on the large side (bore), you
- might notice an improvement in accuracy. Seems like it would be
- hard to get data for the heavier bullets.
