I have just bought a S&W 952 Long Slide and was wondering if anyone could advise me as to the best bullet for reloading 9MM for PPC shooting. The gun has a 6" barrel and I could purchase swaged, cast or jacketed rounds (Montana Gold). Best bullet and best weight?
Best Bullet for Reloadin 9MM?

I think I'd use an amusing 1995 Merlot.
If this weren't the winemaking newsgroup, I'd ask if your intention of doing PPC is to carry, then I'd say the best bullet would be .45ACP JHP which naturally implies you bought the wrong gun.
But since it is the winemaking newsgroup...
So what newsgroup were you -aiming- for?
I'd've figured that comments about shots would be on alc.alc.c2h5oh.
perhaps a good quality champagne cork, renowned for their velocity and impact?
Hi Jim, I guess you noticed you posted to the wrong group.

You could use folly wine... I believe that contains shoots...
Jim
No need to apologize; I don't think anyone else realized you are a winemaker. There a lot of newer people on the group now.
By the way, I used to reload years ago; that's how we could afford to shoot. If your goal is to learn to shoot the gun (or how the gun shoots) - cast is cheaper while you are getting a feel for it. then you can move up to swagged or jacketed which shoot about the same. My dad still shoots and reloads if you want me to hook you up with his email and are planning to load for this too. We were more 'long gun' shooters though.

Nah, no apologies required. We had fun ragging on you.
