I bought the mold to use as a lightweight plinking boolit for 38 Spl. But I's like to try it in 9mm.
To those of you that have used the Lee 358-125-RF in 9mm I have a couple questions:
How deep do you seat it? It seems that the ogive is right where i'd want to crimp it but I'd rather not risk taper crimping into the ogive and messing with the headspacing on the rim.
Do you size to .357 or .358?
Load data? I use a lot of bullseye since I mostly shoot 38 Spl and 45 ACP, so if you have a pet load with bullseye that would be great, but I am of course open to other powders. Personally I have had a lot of luck with HP38 in 9mm.
As always, any advice is welcome, but I would really like to hear from someone who is currently using this boolit in a 9mm load.
