There are two, a 124 gr and a 95? gr. Both are a rn with the heavier one having 2 lube grooves and the lighter mold has one lube groove, IIRC. I am away til Friday. I have the heavier version and like it in a 9mm.

90 gr one lube groove and a 120 w/2 lube grooves just as Gianni said. Pictures in the CASTPICS reference section, if you are interested.

Gianni im looking at the heavier 120 grain mold.

The 120 grain version is an excellent bullet for the 9mm. It casts easily and also works well for me in the 38 special and 357. I have it in a two cavity and can turn out a respectable amount of bullets in a couple of hours. Being a RN it feeds well in my autos. It has two lube grooves and good bearing surface. LLS

Sounfs pretty versatile... Would You Be Able to post some pictures?

I have an older 358242 (120 gr.) and love the way it feeds in 38 Super. Never a problem, and would expect the same in any 9mm. You may have to experiment with your COL to get perfect feeding, but that should be like Brylcream - a little dab will do you.

I have a old Ideal 356242 but have not used it to cast with. I like the production of the six cavity molds. Dont have the patience to cast one at a time for a bottom feeder

I have a 2-banger -242 that throws them @ 93 grs w/my soft alloy. I tumble lube - too danged small for my meathooks to feed through the Star, or ANYTHING! Great for a popcorn load for teaching the distaff side...
