I can purchase 9 MM brass bullets formed with lead core.
Do not know if the brass requires adjusting the powder charge.
Any Thoughts.

They don't.

I’d say yes and no.

If you have a load for a gilding metal bullet of the same weight, it won’t be a completely identical bullet. It may give different velocities and pressures. If your load is maxed, it could go over. More good loading practice than a brass vs gilding metal issue.

The brass/bronze jacket is just a Remington golden saber bullet in all likelihood.

I do not give a flying fugg what kind of bullets they are or what either of the two halfwits above told you!

New bullets require a new workup if you want to keep coming home from the range with all your body parts you took there in working order.

Violate that ruleand sooner or later it will bite you. Do not do it.

You are assuming that he is talking about maximum loads !

Hip

brass is copper and zinc same as your case is made from.
the thing is the zinc content varies quite a bit between brands.

the question I am assuming is whether brass varies from copper when shot out a barrel.

having made the same bullets from both copper jackets and from true brass jackets, the only difference is when the jacket thickness is different.
other than that? seating depth is the only concern.

Not necessary to call me names. I didn't start doing all this yesterday. Unless you have actually done something, best not to comment on it. But in any case, do not call me names.

Excuse me, but why am I a half wit?

In essence, I said he needs to do a work up, but that the brass/bronze is not the issue.

I have been loading ammo for so long, done so many things others would probably never even dream of, and found, for myself, that a lot of what has been written is not true at all.

From all practical points, changing primers, changing bullets, seating depths, mean absolutely nothing.

That has been the case in all the experiments I have done.
