    Been shooting cast in mine for over a year now with great results!
    Using Lee TL356-124-2R, PC'd, sized to .357.
    Shoots great for me!

    I've been using that bullet in other 9mm's with great results.
    What do you size them to?

    Lee 120 gr tc. I size to .358 using White Lable Lubes carnauba red. And yes, it will feed anything, it seems.

    Lee 356-120-TC sized .357 with white label lube, and TL356-124-TC lubed with LLA, also sized 357. Both work just fine.

    shot quite a few cast bullets through the wifes lc9. Never had a single problem even with the 105 lee swc. The gun seems to eat about anything.

    One of my favorites is the Lee RNFP 125 for use in my 3, 9mms, 3 .38 Specials, and one .357 Mag, I just size them accordingly. I use an alloy running about 15-17 BHN, C-Red lube and sized to .357" for my LC9s. My load of W231 (3.9-4.3) gives me just under 900 fps at 10'...

    Thank you mdi...That's just what I was looking for....I shot a few of those
    sized to .358 from the LC9s and didn't seem to have any problem. I was
    using 3.5 grs of 231, so I may want to kick it up a notch.
    Thanks for the info.

    Lyman 358-242 121 grain. (I believe that nowadays it is the 356-242.)

    Last year I cast up several thousand boolits from the Lee 6-cavity 125 gr. RN lubed with my version of FWFL. Alloy is clip on w/wts with some linotype added and water dropped from the mold. My thumbnail will not mark these boolits. I sent several thousand to my son in Alabama who shoots a Ruger LC9 and he said those boolits shot better than factory stuff. I shoot the same boolits in my Sig P938 and they shoot and group reasonably at 25 yds - and a Sig P938 is definitely not a 25 yard pistol. At 5 to 10 yards they are dead on. Big Boomer
