Lee 120 TC accuracy (pic inside)

199154

Here's a group I just shot at a measured 25 yards with my G17, bone stock except KKM barrel, minus connector, and Dawson precision sights. I was rested on a bag. Sun was setting, didn't have enough light for any more good groups. Best 8 shots are a hair under 2", then two fliers within something like 4". I really hope I can get those fliers worked out next time. IF I can get the fliers worked out, I'm thinking it may be hard to squeeze much more mechanical accuracy out of my Flock. I'm wondering if I should just buy a second Lee instead of using my incoming MiHec 130gr mold? Few more load details for anyone interested:

Speer/Blazer headstamp brass, Lyman M die, .380 O.D. crimp
WSP primer, 4.0gr VV N320
1.14 OAL
Isotopic medicine container ingots (redneck gold purchased from a member here)
Sized .357
Dry tumble applied powder, Smokes Clear

The Lee 120TC ( along with the RCBS 124CN and Lyman 356402) seem to be an inherently accurate design in both the 9MM and .38 spl. My Browning Hipower and Khar would put them into 2-2.5" groups @25 yds. My K-38 will do 2" or less at 50 yds and my Rossi rifles will average 3 moa@100yds with those bullets. They are accurate and stable out of the rifles to 200 yds which is the farthest that I have shot them. It is a great design for the 9MM in both accuracy and feed reliability.

I've got the NOE version of that mold, it's a 358-124TC. I haven't even tried it yet, but keep meaning to.

So many molds, so little time...

The Lee 120TC is my most used CB...at least 40k so far in my XDM's and other 9's. I use HS6 primarily with Power Pistol as an alternative. I even bought a second mold in case Lee discontinues it.

This is an encouraging number for mold life! Did you add a hex bolt for the Sprue plate cam to leverage against? I haven't yet but probably should.

retrobass: Yes, I added a hardened screw in the proper place to lever against. I've done that to all my 6 cv Lee's. Mold is still going strong, not sure I'll ever get to the spare mold (I did try it to make sure it was OK).

Try 4.2 grains WSF @ 1.060". It's my go to load in my Glocks and VERY accurate!

The Lee 120TC and WSF make a very accurate combination for 9X19. I use 4.4gr and a C.O.L. of 1.085 for my nines. Make sure and use the barrel of YOUR gun and do a plunk test. I like to use as long of a C.O.L as possible with the 9. Gp

I have come to really like the lee 356-120TC. I powder coat them size to 356 and load them over 4.5 grains of unique at C.O.L of 1.10. I shoot these in my stock gen4 glock 19.

One more shameless bragging picture of how accurate this Lee bullet is.

+1 for WSF 4.2 gr. under a 120~125 gr. boolit. Very accurate with Lee 356-120-TC and 356-125-2R also the Lyman 358242 and 356402.

Never owed that mold but have had good results with the boolits. I scored a Lyman 356634 yesterday, it will be here Tuesday, I will try shooting some friday.
