9mm Lee Mold Recomendation for a Sten

[Lostinidaho]

I am looking for some advise in choosing a Lee bullet mold for my Sten MKII. And maybe a sizer die too.

My barrel slugs to .356/.357 (rifling). I will be powder coating the bullets

I have access to a Lee 356-125-2R

The problem I have if with the OAL and the nose of the bullet hitting the end of the chamber. I can seat the bullet deep enough to eliminate this problem, but the radius ogive is in the case. And I think this is the cause of the problem with the case tension. About 2 out of 10 bullets are easy to push in further with my finger tips. Another 3 can be pushed in with some force.

I thought that maybe the TL356-124-2R or the TL356-124-TC might work better with longer parallel sides for bullet tension.

Or maybe my thoughts are incorrect.

Thanks in Advance

The 120TC feeds very well in about anything. Personally I don't care for the TL molds.

The Tl molds for 9mm have a reputation for tumbling in some 9mm guns. The 120 TC is an excellent choice.
