| Getting a Beretta M92A1. What do you recommend. Bullet, primer, powder etc. Oh, these are safe to load for, right? |

Plenty safe to load for.
I use Rainier 115 gr plated bullets, Bullseye powder, and CCI 500 primers. Some will knock Bullseye as a 9mm powder, but it's what I have and it works fine for me. I shoot those components through a M92FS, Sig P228, G17, 19, and 26, and a 9mm AR with no malfunctions and good enough accuracy for my purposes. My 9mm dies are made by LEE. |

Quoted: Getting a Beretta M92A1. What do you recommend. Bullet, primer, powder etc. Oh, these are safe to load for, right? To start, get JRN 115 gr bullets, True Blue powder, and any brand of SP primers. Seat bullets and crimp in separate dies, so add a crimp die to your set. You may have to use a suitable pistol powder you can find instead of True Blue. |

Get a reloading manual, they are full of loads. I suggest Lyman 49. To start, get JRN 115 gr bullets, True Blue powder, and any brand of SP primers.

I have 16lbs of True Blue on backorder. Cant wait to try it out! |
| I got my 92 to run on 4.7gr of green dot with a 124gr round nose plated bullet (it cycled with my can installed). 4.7 grains was just supersonic. I just got 3k of the RMR 124gr seconds and I'm going to try to work up a load for my MAC11/9 with the green dot as well. |

First you have to the leg work. And, you have to be aware of what materials you can get not what some one else does....
Some areas of the country do not have good sources of stuff. So, you need to see what materials you can get. The WORK UP a load in your gun that is SAFE, RELIABLE, and ACCURATE. There are not shortcuts in reloading...Do the due diligence! It is your firearm and your life... Trust no one's load! Trust your work up. |
