    WTB: Lee 105gr .358" SWC samples

    I'm taking a hard look at this mold for my 9mm target shooting out to 25 yards, and have read good things. Normally I'd just buy the 6 cavity mold at this point, but I've heard some guns have trouble feeding with this boolit, so I'd like to try it out first. Looking to buy 50 or 100 of them, ideally right at .358 or larger, unlubed. If I could get them out of 100% water dropped or air cooled wheel weights, even better. I'm going to be powder coating and sizing to .358 for my M&P 9. If I can get 50 or 100 of these for a good price I'll be able to get an idea of how well they feed as well as working up an optimal charge for them before I commit to the mold myself.

    Thanks!

    Bh. there are two versions of that Boolit, I have both a two cavity ( The old style) & a 6cavity (new styl.)the old stl. feed's 100% thru my LCP, which the (new styl. does not), in the 9x19 you will have a OAL question some pistols are dependent on close to max OAL for 100% feeding reliably, Fivefang

    There is no problem so great, that it cannot be solved by the proper application of high explosives.

    I don't know what you are planning to use it in but it works in 4 different guns for me, all without any die adjustment. It's my "factory" load.

    Going to run it through my M&P FS. I have no reason to believe it has a particularly tight chamber or throat; it's an M&P after all and my RNs sized to .358" have no trouble chambering. Feeding is my only real concern.

    Swamp, how much would you guys charge for 50 of those, unlubed, unsized, shipped to Utah?
