    Hornady 9mm 147 grain xtp

    So I bought some hornady custom in 9mm 147 xtp. Based on how it shoots out of my Taurus g2c I will probably reload them as well. Does anyone have any tips on loading hollow points? This will be a first time for me. Also I have lees dies? Will the bullet seater work with a hollow point design?

    The "normal" bullet seater will work just fine. If a cast lead seater stem was includer with your dies,DO NOT use that one.
    That 147gr XTP is the bullet that comes out of my Glock 32 chambered in 357Sig. I use it for backup while night hunting hogs. The combo of the Glock + mag capacity + bullet makeup + speed,makes me feel a little better about tracking a 200lb+ wounded boar into the pucker brush. It is a great close range killer. --- SAWMAN

    I load 119g, 124g,and 147g XTP/HAP with Lee dies, no problems and nothing special. They work great.
