9mm oddesy.....

[gutpile]

we finally found a nice 120gr TC mold that drops WDWW @ .359 using TAC lube mix it shoots well out of all the family's 9mm been using it for a while now. I aM curious about Lee Mold 358-125-RF its a mini WFN!! I am wondering has anyone tried it in a 9mm?
wondering about feeding??? and i bet in our 77/357 it would be a small game cats meow!

anyone have one?

Good that you have it working. I will bet if you omit the water dropping mess you will
find that the results are identical. My go-to boolit for 9mms is Lee 120
TC ACWW at .357 or .358 and NRA 50-50 or LBT soft blue. All my
9s love it.

As to the RF, never tried it in 9mm, likely depends on exactly WHICH gun.
Clearly not the optimal shape, but may well work for some guns. Your
guns will tell you if they like it. ;-)

I am just starting to work with the Lee mold in 9mm. So far no leading, feeds fine in my S&W MP Shield. I haven't got the load right yet but I am working on it.

I, too, have the Lee 125 RNFP mold. I can size it to .357" for my 9mms or .358"+ for my 38 and 357. I lube them all with Caranuba Red from White Label. I have no problems in my revolvers but am just starting with the bullet in 9mm (only shot about 50-75).

i use a 125 rnfp in my 9's also and just size to 358.
i swap back and forth between the 9's and my 38 with the same boolit.
the only issue is oal of the 9m rounds is short [.095 ish.]
they feed and fire just fine though.
you gotta cut down the powder load and work up slowly,when seating deep.

I have the 125 rnfp and it does not work well in my 9's. The 120 TC is my go-to boolit from ACWW+some tin. Mild to hot loads are all good with this boolit, .356 using CR lube.

I've become quite addicted to the MP 125gr HP for the 9. They come out of the mold big enough and function perfectly in my 9mm's. I have the Lee 120TC and that is accurate, but I can't get the boolits to come out bigger than .357, so I have to put the plain base gas checks on and then it works REALLY well. keep em in the black.
