.356 in 9mm?

[tomf52]

I have some .357 125gr jacketed Sierra hollow points that I sized down to .356. Would these be safe to fire through a 9mm revolver? Just wondering about excessive pressures. I see that almost all 9mm jacketed on the market is .355. Thanks for any input you may have on this.

shouldnt be much drama involved here.
Just use a little more caution working up the load.
Id anticipate it hitting max a little sooner due to the typically thicker jackets used for 357 projectiles, as they anticipate use at magnum velocities and pressures.

Yes you can....

Zero makes a .356 bullet that shoots very accurately in most 9mm's. Some guns even prefer the .356 to .355. Just work up a little more slowly and let the target give you feedback

Well .358 sized lead has been feeding through my 9's.
