Has anyone reloaded 9mm ammo using the Remington Golden Saber bullet. This bullet has a driving band abount .175 tall on the bottom of the bullet, (this is the only part of the bullet that is .355 diameter - the bullet then changes to .348 and tapers toward the ogive. I am planning to seat this bullet to a standard JHP depth and use enough taper crimp to remove the bell. My concern is that the crimp may raise pressure to high because it will be tighter than a standard .355 crimp. I have used the Golden Sabers in a .357 which is more forgiving of pressure than the 9 mm.
