Thanks...learned that the hollow base bullets size best with the base entering the sizer first.

I have some Bayou 138gr BNWC (Hi-Tek) that are getting 1-1/2" groups at 50 yards DA/red dot through my revolver. Loading for a 125K power factor. Noticed that the Bayou bullet drops right in the MP...

I did just that, took an old Lyman 38/357 roll crimp die and shortened it via lathe. Now have a great 9mm roll crimp...did run out of 7/8-14 die threads to lock the die...but that's an...

Experimenting with lead bullets in a 9mm revolver and was wondering if there might be a 9mm roll crimp die out there somewhere?

I know this has been discussed before but I can't locate the posts related to preping a new mold for casting.
Have a new MP 4 cavity brass hollow point mold and would appreciate the proper prep...

Like I mentioned...don't plan on sizing my 360-640L down to 9MM, don't own a 9mm, but as you noted that MP 357-125 looks like a copy of the 360-640. Was just curious.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I'm just curious - have no plans or need to do it. But for example would sizing the MP 360640 (130gr) plain base bullet down to .355 for 9mm loads be acceptable in the long run.

MP 360-640 Light HP mold 4 cav. (Multi choice) - Plain base
MP 360-640 Light SOLID 4 Cavity Mold (Multi Choice)
