    Sig/SMK 9 mm bullets

    We did a jug test with some hot 9mm 124 gr loads to see how they would expand.





    They performed outstanding IMHO.

    Markm also loaded some more 155TMK's for the LMT MWS, but they didnt chamber with our MEN brass which sucked. But we tossed them with my FN SPR 308. They grouped 3 rounds at 1,000 yards at about 3 inches and they managed 2834fps. We could bump it up but they are shooting so straight we might not.

    Just a little Sunday Gunday.

    The load was only published max with Titegroup. I could definitely goose it up some into the plus P range.

    Maybe use a slower pistol powder for more speed?

    We didn't even chrono them. Not sure what if anything they might need. They work good as is, but usually published max is a little conservative.

    No. We still have the bullet and can weight it. This was just for fun. We shot the Berrys 45 bullet too which appeared to have no expansion. It punched through two jugs of freezer gel and into a 4X4 block of wood.

    It looks pretty clean. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was very close to 124gr. Cool stuff.
