9mm Boolits for STI Targetmaster

[jarex]

Anyone who can recommend a good 9mm Boolit for the STI Targetmaster 6"

Pref a Lee Boolit or smth similar wich is easy to get mold for.

Don't know about your gun but my XDm 5.25 9mm Comp and my Caspian 1911 5" both really like the Lee 356120TC (one lube groove). I also use that in my Super 38 6" guns and it is just as accurate. For my guns I found the Lee 356-125 round nose (one lube groove) works fine but is not as accurate. All of my barrels (Briley and King) measure .355 and I size to .356. Hope this helps.

I had a sti trojan 9mm and it absolutely loved the rcbs round nose 120. dont buy the version with the little shoulder. it was made to punch cleaner holes in the target but doesnt shoot near as well. the 115 version is another good one. Mine also shot the 105 lee swc for 38s real well and fed them pretty good. It would bobble once in a great while on that bullet but that was the only bullet that would ever malfuntion and it was rare. that trojan was hands down the best shoot 1911 ive ever owned. It would put 10 shots into one hole at 25 yards that rarely went over 3/4 of an inch and that was with me at the controls. It would be scarey what it would do with someone actually good running it. Id dealy love another in 40sw! I dont shoot ppc anymore and the reduced recoil doesnt mean a whole lot to me anymore. By the way that rcbs bullet is about the best bullet in all my 9s. I just wish they would make it in a 4 or 6 cav mold. As it is i own 3 of them and cast all three at the same time.

While we're on the subject - I bought a used,but new RCBS 9mm mold a while back. It is the 124 Gr, I think. It's a pointy TC kind of boolit. Anybody know if these work very well??? I'm gonna be pouring some up soon. enjoy Mike

A friend of mine I shoot with uses them in his XD and loves them.

You are very welcome! Good luck, the sticky is there to put as much info that
will be helpful for a guy starting with a 9mm, all in one place.
