Re: What 9mm manufacturers ammo do you use for self defense?

A 9mm even with ball is nothing to sneeze at. I've had to investigate many a homicide that a 9mm ball was used. My primary is in 45 ACP, but I also have a 9. It's the survivalist in me.

Re: .358 Savage

Mesci, sounds like a neat project. Please, keep us informed. Lead can make a real mess once it start's depositing in a barrel. It generally doesn't take long before it is real thick. Some Choreboy over a jag/brush tight down the barrel will strip it out. Good luck.
