Thats "salotta" lead in the tip for the average 40 bullet! Cant tell much from the angle.

I scored a bag of 135 HST couple years back...  Buddy bought a mixed bag of pulls in 40 online.  They sent 135G HST.. He complained & tried to return
They said keep them our mistake, replacement processing NEW order came... 135G HST AGAIN!!!

He called complained again, the apologized, refunded his purchase price AND sent what he ordered!!!

Finally they got it right, he gave me bullets!!

Nice, you probably weren't complaining 😀

I now realize this thread is kind of confusing but to make more clear  the 135g are for 9mm and the 200g are for 40 cal or 10mm.  Also the 125 JHP are also for 9mm.  Craig

Don't know if you have this or not in other areas of the country but we have a "Route 40" yard, garage sale this weekend and it is very big. I was looking at my friends sale as he has gun and ammo and some reallly old stuff. I bought a George Forman rotisserie grill for 5.00 and I just tested it for drying brass just out of the wet tumbler. It works great and has a timer so you can set it and forget it if you want to. I bought a table to put it on another 1.00.  I was looking at a Sig Sauer p365 but the guy wanted too much for it and my Taurus g2 was smaller. This sale has our end of the world tore up to say the leased.  Craig

OK back from the range. Short report the 125 9mm shot great even out of the Glock. The 200g 40 shot good. The 135g I couldn't find when I got there but found them when I got home in the car????  Craig

Sounds like something I would do 😊

Hey Ken, There was a couple of strange things that happened today you may find interesting. Both guns when I was sighting on the target seemed to go off ahead of when I thought they should go off. In other words I would be saying to myself to squeeze the trigger but then the gun would fire seemingly by itself. Now I know it was me doing it and I didn't care as I was in the bullseye all day. The other thing not as interesting is the 200g rounds wouldn't fit in the mag so I shot it one round at a time without any problem but I had loaded these long for sure. Crazy day at the range that's for sure.  Craig

Well it's raining like crazy but I made it to the range between cloud bursts and shot the 135g blue 9mm. Used the Glock so I could blame anything on it but everything went OK. Oh and Ken the reloading bench is for reloading not reading. Ha Ha,  Craig

Still crappy weather but want to reload something anyway. Now the age old question what too reload??? I have 9mm brass prepped as well as 40 cal and even some 10mm. So sky's the limit. I really need to shoot like 500 to 1000 rounds to even have room for any new loads but I have been shooting a lot more lately.  Maybe I will reload something and shoot later.  Craig

Well I have been taking a break for any loading for a little while.  The brass prep and loading of the 223 / 5.56 had taken a serious toll on my wrist and hands.  Bothe hands have been swollen for over a month now and my little finger on my left hand has a numbness an tingling ever since.  I may have irritated the nerves and or irritated the finger and wrist joints.  While it seems to be getting a little better, I am always using my hands and the inflammation tends to get aggravated more as the days wear on and into the night.
I may have to schedule a Dr. appt. to see if an MRI or ultra sound might show if something else is messed up...
