Lee 358-105 in a 9mm

[hd09]

Loaded some of these with 3.6 grs. Bulls Eye . Sized .357 50/50 lead & lino . The gun shot very good, with very little recoil, an older model 39 S&W. Wondering if this is to light of a charge because I had a small amount of leading after 50 rounds. I have shot these with 5.0 grs. Unique with no problems. Also the lube is fairly hard.

i only load 4gr of Unique for 124gr in my 9mm. and the same charge for a 125gr 38 in 9mm. no leading at all.

I shoot the 105 through all of my 9mm pistols, which includes a 639. My standard load is 5 grains of Unique and leading has not been a problem. I've loaded Bullseye in 9mm. But it was closer to 4 grains. I don't know what allow you a using but I've had good fortune with everything from air. Cooled wheel weights to plain old range scrap. I size to .358 as. Anything smaller has resulted in sorry accuracy and leading in the bore. Good luck

i use those boolits in a 38 special and a pair of 389's, which is just a short 9mm. i do size them down to .356 for the 380's, rather than shoot them as they drop in the 38. i always have good results with them no matter the charge except right at the top of the load chart. and honestly i blame that on the tumble lube not holding up. it is ok for plinking. but anything near top loads, it fails. like everything in life, it has its limitations, and i have found out how warm to load them.
