    115 9mm round nose NLG?

    I don't seem to be able to locate a mold (6 cavity) for 9mm round nose boolits. Lube groove is not needed since I will be PCing these. I have ordered commercially cast and coated ones from Gallant as well as Bayou and I have an open class gun that really likes them. Light bullets and lots of gas to make the comp work are what i'm after. Can anyone point me in the direction of a mold maker for such an item?

    I'm looking for a round nose design. Tom cannot make round nose molds and needs a .18 meplat. I guess that has to be cherry cut rather than lathe bored. The 2 commercial bullets I purchased are true round nose designs so I know it can be done. These casters use Magma machines so someone is making molds. They are slightly different but both designs work equally well. I have one gun that will not reliably feed truncated cone profiles.

    M&p molds has a no lube grove 9mm mold that looks like it would be the perfect ogive profile for auto loaders. The base is tapered too to aid in seating.

    Edit; Here ya go.

    Pergoman- Miha asked me to put this group buy up a few weeks ago, its running pretty quickly so far. If you are still looking for a mold, this is the one you need:
