9 mm maximum size?

**RBruce** · 07-30-2014 03:54 PM

I have some 125gr bullets that measure .356 on two different calipers. Can these be used in a 9mm auto pistol? They appear to be Hornady FP XTP, although they are not in the original container. --TIA

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

.356 might be a bit tight for 9mm...9x19, right? That is they might not chamber quite right. They might be tight in the mouth and commencement. I wonder if they started life intended for 38 Super?

The correct bullet dia. for the 9x19 is .355''-.356'' so as long as the C.O.L. is within spec they should work fine.

I might be tempted to try it too. I think I'd see if they chamber by hand and then mass load.

Speer used to make a 125 gr SP with a diameter of .356 so your OK with it.
