[Fellas]

Yes. Would not be a problem. Water dropping them will harden them a little more than not.

I have used straight COWW's for all my handguns and my BP rifle with the only problem coming from my Desert Eagle. It has Polygonal rifling like the Glock and the bullets will not grip the rifling and hit the target sideways at 15 yds. My daughter uses straight COWW's in her Ruger SR9C with out a problem.

I would water drop from the mould ! as you dont say what precentages the coww & soww you will be using . 50% coww mixed with 50% /soww/lead will water drop to about 15 bhn which will be perfect for your purpose for full velocity if you choose to load at 1,000 fps or less you dont need to waterdrop.

At 9mm velocity I think I'd add about 2 oz of tin to the pot and commence casting.

The stickons are near pure lead so not a good choice. The clipons should run fine in 9mm w/ proper fit. Mix the two together & water drop is another option.

i use ww for 38 spl and 45 acp with no problems.

You should separate the two and use the clip on's for your 9MM and save the stick on's for when you have some lino-type or similar alloy that you want to use for pistol shooting.The stick on's are pure lead or close and will just soften your alloy to much if the quantity is lopsided to the amount of clip on's.
In my area the standard WW's run about 12 BHN which is good for your 9MM shooting.

I use 50/50 COWW/PB air cool in 9mm 38 44mag 454 casull . Get a Good Fit then Go have Fun!!!! Clint

+1.

Not knowing the size of your pot I suggest 2% tin to the COWWs and let them air cool for 7 -10 days before use. Or WQ them and use in 24 - 48 hours. If you WQ them you can mix in some of the SOWWs at about 20-30% and end up with good bullets. No need to add antimony at all.

I water drop soww with alittle tin for mold fill out for 9mm and 45 asp. These are out of tumble lube no sizing and have had no leading issue in either of my 1911 ( 45acp and 38 super) or my 9mm ar. I do use my coww water drop for some hot loads in the 38 super.

When I'm casting I put 8 bars of clip on wheel weights and 2 bars of stick ons. I don't push them to crazy velocities, and they work fine in .45 Colt, .40 and .38 Spc. No leading at all.
