9mm Hardcast Projectiles for Woods Defense

[treillw]

Want to load up some 9mm hardcast for woods defense. I prefer handloading, as I can load 300 of them and test them for function at a fraction of the cost of buying premanufactured ammo. 9mm is for my wife - not looking to get into a caliber debate.

Any good sources for wide meplat flat nose extra hard projectiles?

Thanks!

Try the basic reloading places? Midway, midsouth, etc..

Maybe you want to check those phillip screwdriver type copper bullets? Seems like they’d load easier than a wide lead bullet.

I run badman polymer coated a bunch....but for my woods gun I prefer berry's hybrids in 147.

I run the Buffalo Bore "Outdoorsman" load in my 9mm Glock 19. Just awesome. I also run the 220gr hardcast in my Glock 40 10mm longslide. Either will make full penetration on side-shot brown bear.

Why not the newer External Hollow Point (EHP) ?
