Any traction on 158's? I've got the 358-150-1R mold that I use exclusively in my 357mag. Gave it a thought about maybe loading up a few for grins in the 9mm. The 356-124-2R is my go to mold as of now.

Once I get the rifle back, I'll slug the bore. This will be the boolit design I'm going to order from Tom, haven't decided on 2 or 3 cavity in brass I'm leaning to the 3 cavity.
