I have a 9 mm carbine in waiting-period "jail" at the FFL. Unless Washington state legislature rushes their new "assault weapon" ban through in record time, I should be able to pick it up early next week. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to take it directly to the range.

I have plenty of S&B round nose and a couple of boxes of factory JHPs, but the only reloading bullets I have now are 124 grain HAPs. Is there a known OAL that will plunk safely with these bullets in the HiPoint chamber? I'd love to roll a few of my own with Power Pistol and AA#7 to put through it on Day One, if I can.

Hi Points are pretty forgiving usually. Just load it to book COL to start with and go shoot. Hodgdon lists COL for 124gr XTP at 1.060. I'd start with that.

Peace favor your sword,

Thanks. I was too lazy to do any reloading yet, so after I picked it up yesterday I went to the range and put a little factory ammo (Remington 124 grain FMJ) through it. Next month I'll give it some hand-loved rounds. (A term I just made up!)
