      355 vs 357

      I have loaded 158 berry's in 9mm cases. No real difference to 147 grain. There can be some problems with some pistols that have a short chamber. S&W M&P is shorter than most.

      10mm powders and load data.

      Checking the load data in post #7 against the Accurate loading manual #1. Some of the loads for Accurate #7 and #9 are for 10mm Magnum which is a longer case than 10mm Auto 1.255" compared to 0.992" Check with current load data since Accurate was bought out.

      45acp OAL issue

      If you are loading for a specific pistol, try measuring max length. Drop a bullet only into the barrel, measure from the hood to the back of the bullet. Then measure the bullet length. Add the measurements to determine max length for your pistol. It may be longer than max length listed for the...

      Variance in load data?

      I don't think paranoid is the correct word. Just observant. The lyman and lee are different bullets. Which do you have? Or do you have an unknown? The way to measure the max OAL for your barrel is to drop a bullet into the barrel. Measure the distance to the back of the bullet. Measure the...
