Anybody know anything about this mould? Ohaus 9-124 C is basically a wadcutter with a very shallow point on the nose.
Hard to believe it would feed in a semi.
It is not in the RCBS catalogs I have, and searches have turned up nothing.
Any help appreciated!

ohaus is lyman.
pour some they might work well in the 38 too.
lyman makes about 3-4 different wadcutters in this weight range and diameter.
they even make one with a small cone on one end and a little flat nose on the other.
some 9m's will feed swc's and wadcutters fine.
i had a taurus 9 that shot it's best with a 158 swc and currently use a 125 rnfp in both mine over the conventional rn.

I thought Ohaus got bought by RCBS -- learn something new everyday.
I did think of using them in 38/357. I was kind of thinking they were made for Bullseye or perhaps Ruger convertibles.
I did load up a few in 9mm, however my seating die damages the face of the boolit. I will change the internals of the die just hadn't had the time yet to do so.
They are really unique boolits and I really want to understand their history.
Thanks,

I found one reference on the web that Ken Waters mentions it as a very accurate 9mm load with 4 grains of Red Dot in his Pet Loads book.
Can anyone confirm that? Many thanks.

I loaded up a dozen under a moderate load of Promo and all but two fed into a CZ-75SA. The oal was set to fit the magazine. The CZ is my most demanding 9mm -- so I have high hopes for this round my other 9s'.
I was able to get all holes touching at 7 yards standing -- which really doesn't say much yet. I definitely need to fiddle with the oal and the powder charge to get a more reliable round.
Over the weekend I will take a few pictures of this conical wc and post them. They are definitely different.
I did find one other post where a board member bought this mould, and I have pm'ed him to see what, if anything, he uses it for.

Ok, here is a picture of this conical wad cutter for 9mm.

That is an odd one for 9mm. When I first looked at the picture, I thought maybe someone took a standard mould and drilled the cavity out. Are they the correct weight? I wonder if some semi auto's would have to be worked over to feed those....
anyway, interesting.....very interesting.

Yes, they are very interesting -- my guess is they are a bullseye mould.
I have shot a dozen or so and will continue to work with them in 9mm. I probably could shoot them in 38/357 unsized.
Information on this boolit is hard to come by. :)

I loaded up a dozen more and fed them thru my Ruger SR9 without a hitch – they all fed fine. Of course these boolits cut really nice holes. I am using a moderate load of Promo.
Definitely a fun boolit!

Ohaus was bought out by RCBS
This is a very unusual looking boolit, however, beauty is as beauty does, give her a try

Where does it say a boolit needs to be pretty? The holes it cuts are!
Thanks for clarifying who bought Ohaus.
