Loaded up a mag's worth last night for the BHP. Loaded them over 3.2gr. Bullseye, at 1.060 COL. Lit with some CCI SP primers from the 60s. All went bang, no pressure signs and they were quite accurate as well. I have data for a 147gr. cast bullet and I just extrapolated the data. Will load more and chrono them. This is the Lee 150gr. SWC PB bullet. I have heard this mold was discontinued years back. It is a good mold and does well in my .38s. I think a 150gr. 9MM for woods walking would be nice for say a feral hog or deer (legal of course). 13 on tap is comforting as well.

Just casted some of those (Lee 150 gr SWCHP version) for the .38. Might take some and run them thru the .355 sizer and try them in my CZ75. Thanks for the tip.

I sized these at .358. All bullets for the BHP are sized @ .358. They run good!
