    9mm mold for a CZ 75B

    I have a new CZ 75B with a verry short leads in the barrel. So what Lee 9mm mold will work in a CZ. Thank's Ron.

    This LEE mold works very good in my BHP. I think it would work well for you. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1010201652?pid=294531

    I had a lot of problems with the 356-120 TC, but the most accurate I have is the RCBS 124 CN, which is very similar in shape.
    Either way, you should try to see which mold you like best for your weapon.
    If I were you, I would buy some commercial boolits and try them before buying.

    I have used 356402, 358242 both at 124 gr and the NOE 135 gr in my 20+ year old CZ75. It also did ok with Lee 105 gr bullets but I had more ftf than with anything else.

    I've been using the Tumble Lube 124grain, .356 Lee mold for years in a variety of CZ pistols. Loaded to 1.095 they work wonderfully, powder coated.

    When I had a 1980's vintage CZ the Lee 120 TC shot best. Slug your bore, mine ran large at .357.

    My experience with a CZ75B Omega is that the bore requires a .358 boolit. My bore was .3565. So none of the .356 molds cast large enough. I would recommend a bullet with a rebated nose like derek45 shows with a.358 diameter or .356 and powder coat.
    My pistol does not shoot well when velocities reach over 900FPS. 2" at 20 yards is the best accuracy I can get. About any powder works reasonably well but I settled with 6.5g of AA No.7 with a 130g. bullet.

    Hi All
    Went shooting today with the CZ 75B. The 125 RF with W231 shot the best, and WSF was good to. I have Uuique to try. Thank you all for your information. Ron

    What charges?

    I'm finding 4.2-231 to be good with 120 TC from Lee. This is the 0.4 cavity in a Lee disc. The same hole for wst was decent too but my shell container broke open on the way out and the two mixed. One was at 1050 the other at 1200.

    3.4 gr W231. Do to the short leads in the barrel the Lee 125 RF is 1.10 OAL.
    3.6 gr WSF

    Wow, that's odd. I've shot 124 gr cast Lee TL bullets sized to .356 in a CZ75 PCR, P-01, SP-01 Phantom, P-07, P-09, RAMI, P-10C, P-10S, P-10M, and P-10F/CR with only the Competition Ready pistol being unfond of them. I have used AA#7 for years, great powder.

    I currently just use the Lee 356-120-TC loaded over 4 gr of Bullseye in mt CZ 75. Cast them mostly of recovered range alloy (mostly hard cast commercial alloy) + tin and Pb AC'd, sized .357 and lubed with BAC or 50/50 lube. Always accurate with no leading.

    356-120 tc sized .357 works for me. Tumble lubed with BLL or Recluse 45/45/10, on top of 4.2 grains of 231 and loaded to ~ 1.10" OAL, "works a treat" as my English neighbor used to say.
