Lyman 358101 is what I have. Come in at 75 grains in weight. Was thinking of using the 9mm 356404 load data as it is 92 out my mold.
Since the 358101 is 17 grains less and will be in the case the same depth.
Thoughts?
FYI here is some 148 I cut in half and loaded just to test fit

The odds of such a round feading in an autopistol are not very good.

OK, they will probably feed in a revolver. :-)

Expect point of impact will be WAY low due to the light bullet.

Which revolver are you shooting them in?

Blackhawk 6" or maybe it is 5.5"
I had made up the 45acp ones with the 452389 for the same gun but in 45Colt/45acp worked so well I figured to try the light 9mm. If it will use the 356404 and save the 358101 for the 38spl

I tried 148 grain wadcutters in my 9mm S&W 929 by loading them way out of the case. I used light loads for safety and fun.
They worked like a champ. No recoil and decent accuracy. I don't think they would stay accurate very far given how I had them loaded but 7-10 yards they were fine.
They were kind of tight in the chambers. The cylinder throats weren't opened up all the way to the front for cast that size. I had to push to get them in.
The chambers also do not have a stop for the case to headspace on in there. It is a moon clip only gun.

I shot the WC in my Taurus wheel gun 9mm .Also some light loads also that would not cycle in semi autos . I got the gun mainly to not only shot 9mm but also for any brass that is too short for pistols.I cut them down and made my own loads out of them and call them 9mm shorts.The Taurus have moon clips.
