Was having trouble with extreme leading sizing to .356. Cast up some new 9mm 122gnrn from a Saeco #384 4 cavity mold to .357. Not only did I just have minimal leading but the load was super accurate!

4.0gn Bullseye
oal 1.130
50/50% range lead and linotype
sized to .357
Saeco #384 4 cavity 9mm 122gnrn

Shot 25 rounds from 25 yards just resting the CZ Custom Shop CZ SP-01 Shadow Target on the mag base.

.377?

Are you sure you don't mean .357?

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together. Makes that hard work and sweat all worthwhile.

No doubt would have been a larger spread at 25 yards.
Hi-Power @ 15 yards; 13 rounds:

5.5 Grains Power Pistol
COAL = 1.125"
Alloy = 95% lead, 2% Tim, 6% Antimony ("Hard Ball")
Sized = "As Cast" (.358" nominal)
Lee 6-Cavity Bullet Mold 356-125-2R
LLA + Mineral Spirits (50/50) & dusted with Motor Mica
