    I've been using the Lee 6 banger 358-125-RF bullet and find it works great in all my 9mm's.

    NOE TL357-135RF - straight out of the mold at .357, tumbled in 45/45/10.
    WWJMBD?

    In the Land of Oz, we cast with wheel weight and 2% Tin, Man.

    I like the Lee 120 TC and 125 2R boolits (but I dislike Lee molds). The Arsenal 358-130-RN is a winner as well as the Lyman 358402. But, my favorite is the NOE 359-121-RN (Lyman 358242 Clone). It's not only fantastic (IMHO) in 9MM but also in 38 Spl / 357 Mag crimped in the first grove. Size to .357 or .358 as your weapon likes.

    I'm curious. What is your load for this? I picked this up when my wife and I picked up SAR 9's but haven't cast any yet. Still waiting for primers to become available at a reasonable price.

    I got pretty good results with both 4.5gr Unique and 3.5gr Titegroup. Sized to .357 and OAL for both was ~1.072 according to my load book. Not hot, but good enough for the 10-15 yards I usually shoot at.

    Apparently I loaded them as short as 1.030 to seat over the crimp groove in some of those tests, but I remember being very nervous about pressure at those lengths. I'm not recommending it, and they shot fine with the crimp groove showing, but you can seat them deeper if you go slow and watch for pressure signs if you have feeding or chambering issues.

    It's been a while, and I mostly load the 356-120-TC ever since I cast and coated about 2k of them last year.
