.358" in 9x19 ?

[lesterktm]

We have tried many combos in 9mm. Sizing both .357 and .358. Powder Coated and lubed lead. Working up on the loads, never had any issues.

My Ruger carbine definitely prefers .358, so Im going to size all mine that way from now on. Unfortunately, the Lee 356-120-TC doesnt drop that big.

I size to .360" for my Walther PPQ SF, the bore slugs at .357" and after pulling a loaded round the bullet measures .359", with Hi-Tek coating the barrel is always clean after shooting a match.

i for the most part do 357. Some of my 9s will run 358s (at least when there clean) but some wont and i want my ammo to run in all of my guns and add to that by the time you get 500 rounds through one and things are dirty problems can occur if you already pushing the limit. Keep in mind most 9mm jacketed are 356.

Have you slugged your barrel to see what the actual bore diameter is?

I was going to say this also. my some was smaller then some others .One have a worn barrel when I got it. When I load it with the largest size I got my groups close in I have another that .356 cast is just right it measure .354

[Sailormilan2]

My default size for all 9mm pistols is .358.

Agreed.

Just a follow-up...

I made up a few dummies using the new NOE cast bullet to try in my Luger (S/42 1936). They fed from the magazine and chambered just fine.

Anything less than .358 and my P1 Walter leads big time

My Browning HP MKIII needs .358 boolits . If I get another Smith 6946 or 3913 I bet they take .358 too. My Colt 9mms and Wheaton Arms aftermarket barrel for my G17 are rifled tight and use .356 boolits.
