- I went to the store planning to buy some 158 gr LRNs one day
- to use in my 9mm. The point of this whim was to minimize leading
- with low vel (but high recoil) and to see what these long slugs would
- do in front of the 4.6 gr BE that I like to use with every load in
- every caliber. %^)
-
- Once there I decided they were too long and might cause
- feeding problems. Yours work fine? What was the OAL and vel?
- anyone else do it?
-
- Later I decided that the idea was a waste of time and that
- there is nothing wrong with the 115-125 gr slugs that the gun is
- intended to work with.
