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!
Lee 125 rnfp and others. the little sucker will feed anything.
Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
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.

Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
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'...
My Anchor is holding fast!
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.)

Thanks Yall!
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
