Looking for some no lube groove molds similar to Acme bullets (what I buy now)

124 and 147 or close (125 or 145)

I have MPs in 135 and 147, both NLG. and they are outstanding. The 135 is a brass hollowpoint mold so the actual range depending on pins with my alloy is 135-140. The 147RN is an aluminum mold and drops around 150. Both shoot very well in everything I have fed them to, and Miha's molds are just top notch. I have an NOE mold in 45 NLG mold and it is very good, but in my experience, if in stock, the mold will arrive at your doorstep faster from Slovenia than it will from Utah.

I dunno about 'best' but I powder-coat the Lee TL356-124-TC and, sized to .357, it works just dandy in both of my 9mms. Of course, unless someone here offers one on 'Swap and Sell', you'll have a heck of time finding that particular mold at anything near Lee's retail price.

taymag, I'm in the same boat as you. I used Acme 124g and 147g NLG bullets in all my 9mm guns. They have since discontinued the 124g bullet and push the 125g (green) bullet but it's not the same. The ogive is different and my 9mm guns don't like it. I'm now trying to buy 124g and 147g molds. There is an active group buy for an MP 147g mold you might want to consider. I'm on the list since I only hear great things about MP molds.
