I meant to post this earlier: no big deal to this group - but definitely reloading progress for someone just starting out.
(25', strong hand, S&W PC 986 2.5" - all shots DA) Right side is Rem 115g MC warm up shots, and the left are my first 7 9mm reloads (4.2 gr Alliant SP behind 115g XTP JHP, OAL 1.115") The first and last shots are the wacky ones - go figure.
The reloads have a totally different feel, sound, and burn infinitely cleaner. (the Rems do make a huge mess) A little lighter then most of the recipes - but I like it. This is definitely something I will continue to experiment with.
By the way - on the last shot the front sight fell out of the dovetail. I like S&W PC a lot.........but sometimes.........
