    Question Slugging 9mm?

    What is a good lead ball and where can I get it for slugging a Rugger 9mm? Any answers would help greatly. I am casting with WW and water dropping them. The mold is Lees 2-Cavity Bullet Mold TL356-124-2R. They drop at .2565 to .257. Just hoping they are big enough for my bore, that is why I need to slug it.

    A .375 ball would work fine. I could send you a few if you like.

    1/4 egg shaped slip sinkers work for me.

    You could just "Beagel" the mold and make some oversized cast boolits to use. It works just fine for me. I had some straight lead and made a handful for each of my guns.
