9mm Makarov bullets in 9.3 reduced loads?
Has anyone tried .365 dia 100gr makarov bullets for 9.3x57 or 62 reduced loads? Thanks, Bob

I used them for 9.3X74R with up to 10 grains red dot.

about 1200 fps.

fun little poppers.

I tried some in a 9.3x80R, but loaded them to well over 2,000 FPS. At those speeds they were unstable. Since it was for a double I did not try slower speeds because of barrel regulation, but I may slow them down and try again just to see what happens .

Thanks guys.
Jameister--Did you use anything over the pistol powder to keep it in place? Rifle or pistol primers? Bob
