I've been handloading for 25 years or so and never used the stuff. Not a shortage of 9mm brass enough for me to risk it. Not sure what head stamp is CBC.Primers: I like federal small pistol, but in this market, anything that is small pistol works. If you get magnum primers, download by 5-10% and work up.Powder: W231 was my go to until I ran out and found HP-38. [USER=5316]@Mad Professor[/USER] told me it's the same stuff under a different brand. After comparing the two, I have the same grouping, velocity and cleanliness using HP-38 v's W231, so I buy what he says. HP-38 has been easier for me to find in this market, so I have been on it. I did find W231 at Village Tactical last weekend and bought a couple pounds.Bullets: My favorite was always Montana Gold 124 grain FMJ, but again, this market is tuff. Anything 115/124/147 jacketed works. I run cast coated bullets in my 45, but I don't trust running lead at 9mm @1200 FPS. That's my opinion only.</blockquote>
