Has any one been working up cast loads for this 9MM revolver?
So far the best load I have is a 128gr Lee 356-125-2R bullet over 4.2 grains of Copper Fouling Eraser (pistol).
Most of my cast loads which shoot well in over 10 semi autos with no tumbling, chronograph where the loading manuals say they should and exhibit no pressure signs have problems in the 929. They stick and have flattened primers but don't tumble and produce really nice groups. My copper plated loads work well.

I have been working cast in my 929 revolver with great success. I don't have the sticking case problem some have, even when I use hot loads.
I loaded some light rounds up as if I were loading for a 38 special target pistol. I used the NOE 358-135-fn boolit over 3.2 grains of Bullseye. This one was super accurate and low recoil.
All my other loads are the same as for the semi-auto pistols. They all shoot well in my 929. For some reason this revolver likes everything I have run through it.
