Lee 358-125-RF...

Did Lee stop making the 358-125-RF bullet?
I can't find it on there bullet chart.

Titan Reloading has them and they are on sale. Lee still has it on their site as well.

Wish Lee would make a 147 gr bullet for the 9mm.

I've shot the Lee 358-150-1R, sized .357, in my 9mms. Drops 148 gr. from my 3-part range scrap/1-part COWW alloy and is as accurate as most commercial jacketed stuff.

Bill, Did you have any problem with seating depth?
And if I may ask, what powder did you use?
I just tried that bullet and for it to chamber in my
Taurus G2c, I would have to seat the bullet way to
deep.

Don't recall exact OAL right off the top of my head...if I ever measured. Wasn't loading 'hot'...3 gr. 700X for around 850 fps...so just made up a dummy that would chamber cleanly, and used it to set my seating die. Oh yeah, tried PC and that didn't work well at all, added too much to the ogive diameter and would lock-up anything but my old milsurp HiPower.

The 125RF is a great boolit for 9mm. Midway has the 2 cavity molds for $22.
