I thought that Lee made a mold in 147 gr. TC 9MM.

Right or wrong.....................

357 sig,38 super would take the 147.
it would be bout the right diameter for a 9mm.

I would really like it if Lee made a 358-140 TC as a lot of 9mm pistols like a bigger boolit. I would even go with 145-147 grains so long as the profile is more like their 401 TC and not the 120 gr 356 TC as I like the larger meplat on the 401. Oh ya, without the bevel base as a lot of folks don't like that. Frank

I remember the 147gr looking more like an RNFP. I wanted 1 a while back but couldn't find it anymore. I thought it would be great for the 38 carbine.

Lee used to make a 150 2R in 9MM. I have a 6 cav in that design and it is very accurate in 3 9MM's that I owned.

How about this one? I have the 147 version that I made into a non bevel base. Made by Mihec.

The guy next to me had one like Springfield shows. Shot and cycled great, don't remember the pistol brand. Does make an unusual looking 9. His target looked like he was benched with a scope - he wasn't. Almost made me want a 9mm.
