    Needed a New Mold for a 147gn SWC in 9mm

    With the renewed interest in loading the 9mm it is time for a new design in a 147gn SWC mold. The current crop is pathetic.

    A SWC design is the wrong application for a 147gr 9mm. The SWC shape creates a longer bullet that takes up more case capacity; the 9mm with heavy bullets needs as much case capacity as it can get.

    Flat point round nose or Truncated Cone is what seems to feed best in 9's for me.

    I have the Saeco 929 145gr swc . i use it mostly for the 38 super and sometimes for the 9mm with excellent accuracy. for my 9mm's the col is 1.150 there is a good portion of the boolet shoulder outside the case.
