I am trying to determine which mold I should buy for loading 9mm.

Is this one correct?

I am just looking for practice rounds. I would prefer a round nose design.

Thanks!

That is a good 9mm mold. Don't forget to order your handles.

MP 359-125. Works equally well in my 357s as well.

I use a LEE 358-125-RF it shoots real well in my Ruger P95
You may want to slug your barrel first to see what size it is then pick your mold that will work for it

I would do the trunicated cone. You have to seat extra deep with the rn design to avoid trouble with the boolit sticking to your lands and grooves. I have a 2 cavity hollow pointed round nose.

I use a Lee 356-125-2R 125 grain round nose in my 9mm's. I run them through my .357 lubrizer die and they shoot fine.

Hard to beat the Lee 120 TC...but I also use the Lee 102 RN...a most pleasant plinking bullet in my Taurus 99AF.

You don't say if you are looking for a TL or a standard lube design. For standard lube it's hard to beat the Lee 356-125-2R or the 356-120-TC. Size to .358 and use the White Label lube of your choice.

I use the TL356-124-TC. No sizing required. Lube them well and shoot. They work great out of my Glock 22 with wolf 9mm barrel.

I just bought the Lee 358-105-SWC to use, as I was told that it makes an excellent 9mm cast bullet. Haven't actually tried it yet, though. Too hot to smelt so that I have something to cast with right now in Texas.

I use the same mold that you linked in two different 9's and they shoot great. I size to .356 as both of my barrels are .355. Titan, one of our sponsors has them in stock cheaper than Midway and you won't get ripped for shipping.

I'm using the Lee 356-120-TC in a 6 cavity mold and have absolutely no reason to be disappointed so far. Sizing mine to .358 and lubing with White Label's BAC.

How about the Saeco iron molds. I have a friend of mine that's been casting out of the same one for 10 yrs. My Lee 125 was pretty poor quality . Maybe I got a dud, but I'm going to look at other moulds for sure now.

Or the JTKnives 124 grain 5 cavity rnfp on Group Buy right now. More expensive than the LEE but better quality. I have the LEE 125 rnfp, works fine, but I am getting the JT mould anyway. As I get older the better quality moulds appeal to me more and more.

I use an Accurate 124 4x FN. It has a small meplat that makes seating straight much easier.

My favorite 9mm mold is an H&G #275 SWC-BB six cavity mold. I have several others, but the 275 is my favorite.
