That's one thing I haven't thought about. I am going to load up some 9 mm for my R51 today, and see how they do in it. But I would imagine that once they have been through that re-sizing die, I shouldn't have any problems. Who knows? Like was brought up in the other forum, Remington made the chamber to min. spec. so it's gone be tight.
Kirk, Why would Big Green go minimums?
Don't they realize that many ammocompanies vary all over the place? Sounds like a board decision that went bad.Blackie

They would plunk up to 1.160 OAL. I use these reloads in my Ruger American, but did the R51 plunk out of curiosity. I usually load them at 1.145 OAL. But just wanted to pass this info on to you if you are looking for bullets that will work in the R51.
