Which Lee 9mm mould would you suggest for a P38, Destroyer rifle, TT-33 in 9mm, Star BM, Marlin Camp 9??????
I'm looking at either 356-102 or 356-125.
The TL356-124 is a possiblity, but I have not had any experiance with a tumble lube bullet in a pistol.
I'd like round nose so function will not be a problem.

I've used both Lee 125 grain boolits--the RN and the TC. Both feed very well in every pistol I've tried them in, to include a couple older Browning HPs that could be balky with cast boolits. 125 grain-class boolits/bullets tend to be the easiest to make good ammo with--it's the original design weight for the caliber.

I've had good feeding from the 102 in .380's & a Largo. it's a nice little plinker, since it doesn't use up too much lead & accuracy is good. I haven’t messed with the other one.

Do either of these cast out big enough to size .358 for use in Blackhawk convertibles?

The Lee 105g swc is a great little shooter and is big enough to size to .358. It is made for 38 but shoots well in the 9mm also and the 357 with light loads! It's not a TL design.

I have both Lee molds and they work very well in the 9! Don't have a tumble lube mold.

While both molds provide excellent results I'd run with ( and do run with) the 125 RNL. for the major amount of practise ammo. It never fails to feed in any pistol I've tried it in.

The only beef I have with this mold is the size of the lube groove. I'd like to see it just a bit larger. However this did not stop me from buying a pair of the Lee six bangers some years ago.
