lee 120 tc

for those of you that use the 9mm lee 120 tc; what dia. are you getting out of the mold with 10-12 bhn alloy??

I’m getting about .358 and I size it to .358. I use it in 9mm and it works great for me.

.357+ out of my lee 6 cavity with a 50/50 alloy .

I get .358 from a 2 cavity. I run it in 9mm and 38s.

mine runs .357+ and does not size in a .358 sizer. I bought an NOE clone to give me bigger boolits.

I get .358 and size to .357 for use in several different 9mm handguns.

thanks guys. i bought a sig 210 (my first 9mm) and i want to start with a big dia. bullet.

It's pretty easily polished out to enlarge the diameter if needed , or powder coating . I size to .357 but they actually come out of the sizing die at .3575 most of the time . Want to try some ?

I've got a Lee 358-105 SWC coming and I'm hoping for .359" to use in my CZ 75 and also my K-38 Smith. Would then run unsized in the Smith and .358 in the CZ.

I must be lucky, mine cast out at .360~.3605" I size to .358" and use in my 9mm Luger loads. IMHO it is the ideal cast bullet in that caliber; I've tried many. I never did well with the Lyman 356402, probably because they cast too small...I sold the mold years ago.

My 6 cavity drops them at 359 - 360 with COWWs + 2% tin. A bit smaller with a softer alloy [ternary with balanced amounts of antimony and tin] at .358 - .359.

Mine is right at .357

Lee double cavity mould , drops almost .358 ...measures .3575 .

Size .357 and use in 9mm

Run through .358 sizer and use in 38 special / 357 magnum
