9x18

Retmsgt. · 04-23-2007, 08:22 AM

Anybody got any good loads for the 9x18mak? Very little in my reloading books.

Some 9x18 Mak published data:

These are just off of the top of my head... er... browser, as it were.

You can also join the Makarov list on Yahoo Groups (I've been a member for several years) and post a request for data from the membership. There are several reloaders on the list that have reloaded the 9x18mm quite a bit, and know several tips and tricks.

Good luck

I got a set of dies before Christmas but haven't made the time to try them out yet. I also have a .22 conversion kit for my Mak that I haven't tried out yet either. I have a lot of catching up to do!

I've been on the Makarov.com yahoo list for a couple years also. There is some good info available there as niesse has already said.

I'm getting ready to setup the 9x18 dies and I was wondering if you had a chance to try out any loads?

Not yet Ed, I've found a plentiful source for Wolf 9x18 JHPs at $8.35 a box for practice and I use the 70 gr.POWR-Ball for a carry load. I just bought a set of dies. Having trouble finding a good source for those oddball cal. bullets, .363?

SpecialEd · 06-14-2007, 08:16 AM

I have all the components, I was curious as to a good powder and charge weight.

There's a real neat lookin' one . . . Is it a Bersa ?

SpecialEd · 06-14-2007, 04:38 PM

I'm not familiar with a Bersa in 9x18. As far as the "preferred one" well that's a matter of personal taste, I guess. I have an E.G. MAK (single stack) and a CZ83 (double stack). The E.G.'s are usually the preferred model of Makarov although the Chinese is probably the rarest for collectors.

IIRC - The one I'm thinking of had a semi - pointed or "hooked"trigger guard (presumeably for easier takedown / reassembly) similar to some of the older S & W Pistols.

IIRC #2 One of the Mak. aficionados featured one on his home page.
Quite a bit different than the traditional and PPK - like frames.
Oh well !

forgive my ignorant terminology here (above)

According to Speer #13 they're .364 FWIW.

Speer mfgrs. a few bullets for that caliber.
They also include load data.

Thanks Bluesteel, I don't have a Mak, I have a FEG PA63, looks alot like a Walther PP.
