9mm Ammo suggestions

I think casting is outside of my comfort zone in terms of practicality and knowledge.

Lyman 4-cavity iron mould. I have had good luck with the Lee 6-cavity moulds in light 9mm/.38 bullets, and you can crank-out a lot of them fast - I recommend the 124gr TC for 9mm, and I use the 125gr RN for .38, but I never got the Lee 6-cavity 158gr GCSWC mould working well for the .357. Had wonderful luck with all the Lyman moulds.

The real pain is lube/sizing them; thinking of trying to talk CinCHomeFlt into a Star set-up... :dancingbanana:

If you're in Mission BC like your avatar says, it's a quick drive down the road to Maple Ridge.
Custom Reloading Service is your best bet.

Nothing will beat their prices as most business' will have to ship to you.
Most commercial 124 and 147 grain is good, I prefer 147 grain for less recoil. As jory mentioned, American Eagle 147 is good ammo, but more expensive.
IMO don't shoot crap steel cased ammo or anything made by Blazer. :)

John & Brad over at Custom Reloading Services make some really good stuff, and it's generally ~2/3rds the cost of factory ammo. When I started reloading, I ran some of their reloads and a couple of types of factory ammo over my chrono. I still use the CRS ammo to run a baseline string at the start of each chrono session.

Results through your Shadow 2 will be different of course.

Between the cheap Norinco 45acp from CanadaAmmo, and buying 9mm from John, I didn't even bother with rolling my own for years. I only started reloading when I got interested in tayloring loades to different types of hand-guns (semi-auto vc revolver). Now I just buy all my reloading supplies from Brad & John :)

Yup if your not going to reload these guys are as honest as they come and give great service..
 
I have seen the facilities of Custom Reloading Services. I wish my reloading set-up was like that. Fully automated, top quality ammo re-manufacturing equipment. Clink, clink, click...clink...lovely sound of cartridges dripping non-stop. Like a leaky faucet.:cool:
