Hi-
I just built a 9mm AR Carbine with a 16" barrel. Have some NATO Factory loads for it and some +P factory loads as well. I dont own any 9mm handguns. Looking at handloading for it, which im fairly new to. So, right now mainly focused on handloading 9mm ammo optimized for a carbine with a 16" barrel. Looking to either reload 115 grain or 124 grain RN FMJ Ball. Im running a pretty heavy buffer and spring. Got a ramped bolt and anti-rotational pins as well.
Has anybody used a slower burning rifle powder in the 9mm for carbine use to fully utilize a 16" barrel? Can 9mm be loaded up to .38 Super power or is that too much pressure?
Again mainly focused on loading the 9mm for a 16" carbine not for a handgun. Is there any load data out there that approximates the military loads for the UZI or MP5 (SMG load)?
