Need Help selecting a new 9mm Good Quality mold

[lesharris]

Looking to purchase a two new quality 9mm molds. 115 and 124 ish grain weight. I have several Lee molds and want to upgrade to Noe ETC. Cone nose or round nose or round flat Truncated. I am open to suggestions. Thanks in advance. I do not need a gas checked boolit. I am set up for lube or PC coating. They will be used in several Glocks. S&W M&P's, Beretta 92, Browing HP, Star, and a Springfield Range Officer.

At this point in time the biggest consideration is what is in stock... NOE has a couple in the 124 to 130 grain range in stock. Personally I’d pass on the one 115 grain mold in stock right now.

NOE 358 - 124 - TC
This is a 124 grain truncated cone . I ordered it with a gas check and 4 cavities in aluminum .
The gas check allows +1000 fps velocity w/o leading .
Size to .357" , I load it in 9mm Luger and 38 Super .
Size it .358" , use in 38 special +P and 357 Magnum .

I have a 2 cavity plain base mould for when a gas check isn't needed ...
I would consider a 4 cavity mould w / 2 - plain base and 2 - GC cavities
Great boolit design , lots of different uses and NOE makes a very nice mould .
This one mould is about all I cast with nowdays ...and I like it !

I have two Accurate 9 mm molds and couldn't be happier with them, they are a real pleasure to cast with. Accurate offers a wide selection of weights and designs.

Great choices above. I just cast my first bullets with this one, I am not big on the sprue plate design but the mold rains bullets as advertised https://www.mp-molds.com/product/357...e-groove-mold/

I have had excellent results from the NOE 135 .

Traditional lube or coating?

For a coated bullet you're going to have a VERY hard time finding a better mold than this. https://www.mp-molds.com/product/357...e-groove-mold/

It's my go to 9mm boolit. I've shot 10's of thousands of them.

It's an 8 cavity mold. This is important if you do a lot of shooting. No one else makes a mold with this number of cavities.

I just got my first 115 grain mold....just because I didn't have one. I'll still continue to use the above mold for the majority of my 9mm needs.

I have yet to find anything to work better than the 124TC.

Another vote fore Accurate. They are made to order. The ones I have arrived before the estimated delivery date. Top quality.

If you don't mind which Accurate Molds are you using for 9mm? I'm looking for something around 135 gr for a Browning Hi-Power and a CZ 75.

Big fan of Accurate molds by the way.

I can't give you first-hand experience yet... but I have the 35-135A on order based on recommendations from some folks here. At "21 sold" it's apparently pretty popular. https://www.accuratemolds.com/bullet...bullet=35-135A

I had an Accurate 358-120B mold for a long time. It is a truncated cone type boolit. I used them in a CZ with almost zero leade or throat and they worked perfectly. I have since switched to the 358 155 Elco mold from NOE. Both are great quality molds.

I have a 35-125PZ. Using range scrap they weigh 132gr. 4gr Unique @1.085 COAL. Feeds great in my P80.

This is the one I like best for most of my 9 mm's

The NOE 359-121-RN (Lyman 358242 clone) is my favorite for all 9MM's. Plus it's a tack driver in 38 Spl/357 crimped in the top grove.

It might help if you list the guns you are loading for .
Many 9mm pistols will not chamber a lot of the cast bullets to recommended OAL without modifying the barrel to accept the ogive , so they have to be deep seated or the barrel modified . Some will chamber in most any 9 some won't .

Just a quick update. I have ordered an received several molds. An MP H&G #50 38/357 Solid wadcutter 8 cavity #11026. to replace my heavy H&g mold. For my 9mm needs a new MP 359-115TC-Flat base 8 Cavity solid, lube groove AL mold. And for 9mm an NOE 358-128-SWC-AW2 5 cavity plain base. On order is an Mp-356-359-125 Grain flat Round nose 8 cavity AL No lube groove.
Thanks to all who offered advise. I will give a report back as soon as weather permits.

Nice, sounds like good choices to me.

I just ordered from Tom at Accurate Molds their catalog # 35-120B 5 cavity Aluminum Sized .358.
Turn around time is listed at 10 weeks. I sure hope the time is less than 10 weeks. With this country in the condition it is the time does not surprise me.

You're gonna like that 120B mold. 3 grains of Red Dot is a nice load.
