RELOADING SAFETY RULES

Reloading is an tnjoyablc and rewarding hobby that is easily

conducted wiih safely. But, like many other human endeavors,

carelessness or negligence can nuke reloading hazardous.

The essence of reloading safety is proper handling and storage of

primers and pooler. By observing the following rules, the chance of

hazardous occurrence becomes extremely remote.

Slot* powder and primers teyond the reach of children and away

from heat uud open ilamcs. Do not smoke when reloading.

Keep no more powder that needed in an open container.

Immediately return unused powder lo iU original factory container.

Don't u«e any powder unless its identity is positively known.

Scrap all mixed powders and those of uncertain or unknown identity.

Do uo< store primers in bulk. To do so is to create a bomb! Bulk

primers will hulvs detonate. Do not use primers wbm their identity i-

losl. Safely dispose of unknown types of primws.

III I he 9nim Iaigec is the most widely chambered military pistol cartridge

in the world. It lias become extremely popular in the US. and is used

by n large number ol law enforcement agencies. Introduced in 1902 by

Ceoig Luger in hi* huger Pistol and dubbed the ymxn I’arabellum, this

cartridge was adopted by the (ierman Aimed Forces just six years

later, t he cai Iridge is also used extensively in submachine guns

Hie 9mm huger in economical and relatively easy to reload. With the

ending of World War II, a great number of military surplus semi-autos

were sold in the U S, which also enhanced popularit>- of the round in

lliis Country. Today, every major US. manufacturer offers a firearm in

this caliber. Many foreign producers otter tine tirearms in the 9mm

huger. I hc US. armed services have adopted a Ueretta pistol, the M9,

as the official side-arm. the large munber of firearms in 9mm

prompted the need for commercial ammunition and reloading sup¬

plies. Homady offers reloading dies and eight different bullets for the

9mm.

Powders that wo iked exceptionally well in our test weapon were Her¬

cules Unique, Winchester 231. and A A-??. AA*2 produced the highest

velocity of all the powders tesled with the W, 1U0, 115 and I2T grain

bullets while AAH7 and blue Dot gave the highest velocity with the

IT/ grain bullet. Velocity difference l>etween h arvd 5" barrels were

negligible. Note; When reloading for the 9mm, care must be taken that

little or no crimp be used, since I he 9mm I lead spaces on the mouth of

the case.
