I'm about to start loading for a 9mm again after several years. I sold off the one 9 mold I had. I've a bunch of 38/357 molds including the light and middleweight 360-640s. Other than sizing boolits down 2-3 thousandths, will they work okay in the 9mm?

Considering buying the MP 9mm mold, but already have the 640s on hand.

I loaded a few of the 150 grain (supposedly 140 grain) 359-640s. They seem to fit ok in my S&W 39, but not my Sig P-6. In the Sig, they hang up about a 32nd of an inch shy of fully chambering while attempting the plunk test. I haven't shot any yet--too many projects; too little time. I used the starting load for the Lyman 147 grain boolit with Power Pistol. We'll see how these work one of these days.
