    Classic 9mm 115gr round nose mold?

    What would be the closest mold to a typical 9mm 115gr?

    Lee roundnose 125 grain mold. Lee designates it as 356-125. I use a six-cavity mold and Pro 20 bottom pour for 3.2 grain of Bullseye.

    Powder coating will bring it up to snuff, which is what that boolit is designed for.
    Otherwise, a Lyman 356-242 120 grain is a very old boolit for these applications. Mine casts at about .357.
