That's not a typo!
I was at the range yesterday and a gentleman showed up with a chronograph and some hand loads, some of which were done 20+ years ago by his father.
One of the loads were JHP of unknown bullet weight, powder charge, and grains that came in between 1350 and 1467 fps! I couldn't believe it, that is like 357 magnum numbers. Gun was an old Taurus PT92 which was also his fathers. Just for gigs I tried some of my factory 9mm defense ammo that came in around 1150-1200, what I expected. I've got limited experience with reloading but the cases didn't appear over pressured; primers weren't really flattened out and the cases weren't bulged. Flattened out to me is like when you shoot Hornady 200 gr 460 magnum FTX.
What is the fastest you have ever seen / loaded 9mm?
