Well here is my last update… I can’t drink this Kool-Aid anymore! I finally got rid of the piece of junk M&P FS 9mm that I purchased almost two years ago. After sending the pistol back to S&W multiple times the accuracy issues were never resolved. I am very disappointed that S&W would make such...

KKM barrel should arrive tomorrow so I get to start all over again...

Marlin.357.... Good catch! I did mistakenly list Winchester WSR as the primer. That's what I get for looking over the top of my glasses and glancing at blue boxes. I actually used CCI 500's small pistol primers.

That is correct. All 124g and 147g bullets from start to max load shoot fine in the Glock 19. Just won't shoot very well from M&P. Now when I load up factory ammo, groups with M&P become somewhat acceptable. I am going to have to load up some jacketed bullets and see if they are better. I know...

This is for information purposes only. I am simply relaying information gathered today from two phone calls. :) KKM: M&P factory production gun barrels are from production runs intended on going into production run guns. KKM barrels are made to a much higher level of exact tolerances. KKM...

My buddy and I swap guns and ammo and the issue follows the M&P. Had interesting conversations today with Bar-Sto and KKM. I will start a new thread titled "Conversation with Bar-Sto and KKM". But please keep the recipe recommendations for the M&P 9mm FS coming...

Just got M&P back from repair center for accuracy issues with a new barrel. I am still getting horrid size groups with my reloads. With load development the best I have been able to get is 6" at 25yds. Here is the rub... With winchester white box jacketed I can get 3" groups. Here is what I have...

S&W replaced barrel 2 weeks ago for groups and vertical stringing. Before, groups were off paper and looked like buckshot. New barrel is an improvement and I am sure a lot of people would be satisfied with what I get from white box winchester but I refuse to tell my wife that the garrage full of...

Load data including min/max came from phone calls to Rainier and Berry's. Load data was also verified in Hornady manual. Loads were increased from minimum to maximum in 2 grain increments. I have used both lead and jacketed load data. I am not up to around 300 test rounds that have been tried...
