I load and shoot the 380 cal. and have on have a extra box of Missouri bullets
95 gr. R.N.
I wonder can these be used in the 9MM case (http://viglink.pgpartner.com/rd.php?r=5316&m=764749977&q=n&rdgt=1437751734&it=1438183734&et=1438356534&priceret=4.79&pg=%7E%7E3&k=49caed8d72bb7d481f70ee398010a8d2&source=feed&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eamazon%2Ecom%2Fdp%2FB0000C5 1RM%2Fref%3Dasc%5Fdf%5FB0000C51RM3785611%3Fsmid%3D A30DGGRQPDAP9Y%26tag%3Dpgmp%2D1444%2D01%2D20%26lin kCode%3Ddf0%26creative%3D395109%26creativeASIN%3DB 0000C51RM&st=feed&mt=%7E%7E%7E%7E%7E%7E%7E%7En%7E%7E%7E)?

I'm not familiar with your boolit, but the Lyman 356242 (92 gr) RN is fantastic in both .380 and 9MM. I size to .358 for both. If your boolit is .356 and your 9MM likes .356 you are in business.

Third Edition of the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook has loading data for the 358-242 92 gr. RN for 9mm. I normally use the 358-242 121 gr. RN version in my 9mm. I have the 92 grain mold - just haven't had time to get any cast to try in the 9mm yet. I purchased the 92 gr mold as I was planning on getting a .380 (have a friend who shoots a .380) but opted for a 9mm Shield instead. No reason your boolits shouldn't work.

The Lyman book has data for 11 different powders - Bulls Eye, Red Dot, Green Dot, Unique, 700X, etc. If you need a copy - PM me with your e-mail and I'll be happy to send a scan in PDF Just for you information - for the 358-242 RN - 92 gr., they show a cartridge overall length of 1.045" for 9mm Luger.
