I recently purchased my first 9mm pistol, a Ruger SR9c and I really like it. I want to start handloading for it and since I cast for my other guns I might as well cast for this one too.LOL.
This will be for informal target shooting and plinking. I just want to be able to shoot it without breaking the bank.
Already went thru a hundred rounds in the first session and at $30 plus per box it gets expensive.
So I am wanting to get a mold and from some of the posts I have read it looks like the truncated cone design in 120-124 gr is pretty popular.
I am looking at the 6 cav Lee 356-120tc to get started. Does any one here have experience with this mold and how do you like it? Would the tumble lube version be better? Should I look at a different weight boolit?
Ordered 1000 pcs of brass, have a couple thousand primers
and I have Red Dot and Unique powders on hand but can get something else if I need to.
My lead is coww and I also have some pure lead if needed to mix.
Still need to slug my bore before I order sizing dies. I have a Lyman 45 for lubing and sizing.
Any other pointers on reloading the 9mm is appreciated.
