Reloading AP rounds Anonymous 2017-07-26 01:26:31 Post No. 34658697 [Report]

I'm getting into reloading. I have a bench, some powders, a press, lead, etc the whole nine yards. Nothing too fancy or expensive, but I'm reloading some 9mm bear defense rounds next week since Glock 40s are too damn expensive right now.

Anyway, enough with the blog, how hard is it to reload some AP bullets? I know buying selling some rounds is supposedly illegal, but what about BUYING just the bullets and reloading them yourself? Anything wrong with this? Can you even buy solid copper / tungsten / superfuckinghardandheavy bullets from anywhere online?

>For the bear rounds, I'm planning on loading 147gr Hornady XTP at 1200fps with Universal powder. 90% energy at 2-3 inches, bullet expands to about .50cal at the 3 inch mark and will over penetrate to 18-21 inches.

One quick google search netted me this. Hard cast 9mm loaded to +P velocities... buffalo bore does some interesting shit. Maybe underwood does too, I dunno.

147gr 9mm at 1200fps? On hodgdon's website I don't see it anywhere close to there. Vihtavouri however advertises some impressive results with 3n38

Most lead free ammo is copper anyway, and ironically they supercharge that shit.
