Recently, I started a thread regarding getting the first mold for the CZ P01 9mm.
This one was suggested:

This is the Lee 6 cav 358-125 RF. This has been reported to produce good results.
I've been lurking enough to know this is no guarantee that it will do well for my gun...
I have tried slugging my barrel, and for some reason, I can't seem to get it right.
I had a few lead pointed nose slugs I got from a local gun show several weeks ago.
I put Rem oil all over the slug and all over the inside barrel, and I could only knock the slug in just far enough to engage the rifling on the breech side. Didn't even get rifling marks past the lube groove. Is this sufficient? How does one brace the barrel when pounding the slug in? I didn't want to damage the crown, so I was reticent to put that on anything resembling a hard surface and then hit the slug.
I guess my thought at this point would be to ask if anybody out there happens to have this mold, and further, be willing to cast/size a few to whatever you are using in your 9 and USPS me a few to load and try out? I would gladly cover postage/other expenses.
If I have gleaned a "bottom line" from reading, would it be correct to say that to avoid leading problems, one should shoot the biggest boolit that will chamber/feed reliably? Or, (as it were), is there more to it than size?
