    I am having great luck with it in 9mm, and 357 sig even though someone recommended against this bullet for that round. I am getting ready to try it out in 38 super soon, and expect that it will do nicely with it. For my 9mm I needed to size it to .357 to prevent leading with 50/50, tumble lubed with 45/45/10, and 5 grains of bullseye turns it into a beer can killer!

    As far as the MP mold question goes, I have both MP and NOE molds, and they are both well done. However, my preference if the brass MP mold by far. I almost hate to cast with them when they come out of the box because they are such a work of art, but I get over it soon as the pile of perfect hollowpoint boolits start stacking up on the table.

    I have that MP mold as well - it is a winner indeed. It's about the only 9mm boolit I cast anymore. It's kinda like - why do anything else ?? enjoy Mike

    Im going to order one from Erik, we have been conversing via email and it sounds like a winner. How can you argue with "If your not satisfied,Ill take it back"

    I ordered a 359-125 from Miha during the last over run. I love the mold and my pistols love the bullets.

    Well his communication via email has been a little sporadic, and I was a little hesitant, but seeing all the good experience with him here, I figured its worth a go. He told me he had some in stock, sent me a paypal invoice and paid him. Lets see how long it takes

    The 359-125 is a beautiful mold! I got mine a few months ago and it makes perfect hollow points. You won't be disappointed.
    ETA: If you paid him already, you'll have the mold in less than 2 weeks.

    I have gotten a Lyman 356637 9MM New HP 125gr . I also use the same one for my 38/357 too.It depends on the alloy you use.

    You won't regret it. I have one of the 359-125's. It's an excellent mould.

    After Erik does his work and tunes it up they actually work much better.His inset bar is a better system than the Cramer style he reintroduced a few years back.

    That MP mold will take about 9 day to 14 days, it depends on how long it takes to go through customs. Be prepared to get a note from you postman about a package, that requires your signature, from Slyvania(? I think I got that country right).
    It'll be a great mold, you will have to run it pretty hot for the HP's to fillout fully(the pins suck the heat out of the lead and causes incomplete fill,it's the same with all hp molds)
    sent via hammer and chisel

    need oversized powder funnels , PTX's or expanders ? just ask, I make 'em for most brands plus my own styles.
