Default ^^^ The Acc #7....

The Acc #7 load MIGHT give a bit more oomph, but it is bulkier and I don't think I could get a full charge in unless I flatten the tip. At least when I tried it ii would be a compressed load, which isn't awful, just more trouble. I'll be working on that. The bullets that Nevada Ed suggested may need no doctoring and they are much softer than the Xtremes that I tried. I think you are right, this is about the ragged edge of the max weight for a 9mm, especially in a short barrel. I didn't make a requirement that the barrel be short, but since this is supposed to be a defensive load, the shorter barrel was more likely in a carry gun.
