Loaded up first batch using the Lee 9mm mold. Coated with Eastwood Chrome ... charge is 3.4 to 3.5 of BE.

Trouble I’m having is finding a good OAL. These are at 1.075 to 1.080 ... test rounds seemed to chamber fine in all of my Sig’s but is still a tad tight with my CZ75.

What has been your typical OAL you’ve used for this projectile that seems fine in most all of your respective 9’s?

I load for several 9MM's including my CZ75. I PC with Eastwood Ford Dark Blue and size all 9MM boolits to .358. As for the Lee 356-125-2R, which I like a lot, I use a COAL of 1.065" and get perfect function. My CZ75 has a "tighter" chamber as does my G22 LW 9MM conversion barrel.

Thanks ... may need some test rounds at .065

Load a couple of dummy rounds and see what works/chambers in your gun(s)
