I have been trying to find a good mould for my Sig P6/9mm. I like to shoot light loads for target. Barrel slugs at .356. I have been advised to shoot .001 over sluged size (.357). Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jerry

I have some loaded for my 225 but haven't made it to the range try them yet.

You might try the Lee 105 gr SWC in 358. I've heard it works well, but feeding might be a problem. I use it for popcorn loads in my Smith 15.

The Lee 356-124 2RN makes great 9mm boolits. Mine drops .360 where as 358 would have been nice but, not a problem. The boolits are short enough that it does not take a lot of effort to shove through the sizer even .357

Many thanks for your reply. I have a Lee TL 356-124-TC double cavity. I have cast and loaded several rounds and shot without any success. 1 to 2 shots out of 5 keyhole in the target. I f you have good luck, I would like to know. Thanks

LW,
If your 105gr SWC drops .358 diameter, that would be great. How much bullet is exposed out of the case mouth after seating? MY P6 will cycle in the magazing at 1.05 O.A.L.
Thanks

I am using the Lee 356-120 TC conventional design (not TL) and it works fine for me with 4 gr 231.
