Anybody have a favorite Lee mold for 9mm? Looking for a bullet for target shooting. Thanks for any suggestions.

--------- Tom the Lee 125gr. RNTL boolit dose well with target loads like 3.5 of 231 as well as 3.8m of Bullseye---I have gone as low as 3.3 of bull (just what my P-38 likes) and that boolit also dose well in 38 and 357 as cast----Mag

If you are punching holes in paper I use the Lee 358-105swc. :Fire: I shoot 4.0 grain of Bullseye and size boolet 357. Cuts a nice clean hole. Lee make both two and six cavity molds. I have both and they do me well. I shoot 300 to 400 rounds a week. :-D

I shoot a boolit similar to the 356120 Lee mold. At 125 gr boolit performs well in all my 9MM. Fn Hi-Powers, CZ 85, Tanfoglio and STI Trojan.

Win 231 is temperature sensitive and you will find once you drop below 4.1 gr your standard deviations will widen significantly and velocity will fall off, a consideration if you are shooting in the winter in your neck of the woods outside.

Shot a bunch yesterday over the Chrony using 3.9 gr 231. Temp was 2C or about 36F and velocities were about 100 fps off of summer results with SD of 27 vs single digit in the summer.

Take Care
