Reloading 9MM - The Firearms Forum

kd4tsc · 05-08-2009, 01:33 PM

I don't have my reloading data in front of me, but I've got some 115 grain JHPs, Hodgden "Titegroup" powder, and Winchester Large Pistol Primers.
First question is; My reloading data calls for CCI 500 primers. Are those "Large Pistol"? Are "Large Pistol" primers OK for 9MM (what about .357/.38 or .40 S&W)?
Thanks

All the calibers you mention use Small Pistol Primers. Now if have a .45, they use the Large ones. My hornady manual does not have any listings for titegroup in the 9mm, but does for the other three.
