Looking to cast for volume for 9mm but in a 147 gr bullet. Any recommendations?

Might want to think about using a Lee 6 cavity 357 158 gr RN .. That's what I do
3.2 grs of Bulleye and I have a great subsonic rd to shoot out of a FA UZI or a Sig P250

I am not crazy my mom had me tested
Theres a fine line between genius and crazy .. I'm that line
and depending on the day I might just step over that line !!!
Lyman's 147 gr. flat point BB is a good 9mm heavy.
Hmmm. Those lyman's are available in 4 cavity. How about a 6 cavity mold? I'd settle for a 135 grain in a six cavity.
Mihec makes a 6 cav. based on the lee blocks, his mold # 359-147, it's a TC BB I have one and like it a lot.

Shoot straight, keepem in the ten ring.
The RCBS 9-147 is a fine boolit, but it's only in a 2-Cavity as far as I know.

An Accurate #35-147B Has been on my to buy list for awhile now. Unfortunately group buys keep closing so I can't purchase one.

I have a MP 359125 that drops a 135 grain solid. I use it w/ great success in my 9s and 357s. He has them in stock fairly often. This one is a 357125: http://www.mp-molds.com/shopping/pgm...php?id=24&=SID
first do you currently load 147 gr boolits? - I have several mold from 135-158 that I use in 9mm and depending upon the firearm
some of them will not feed with certain nose shapes - so first we need to establish which nose shapes will work for you.
Am I to assume that you want a subsonic load or are you trying to meet a specific purpose - Minor Caliber soft recoiling for competition?

I have a 4C Saeco 929 145gr swc bb , it works excellent in 9mm & 38 super . But for most purposes in the 9mm i use the Saeco 377 122gr tc bb cast bullet .
I have the magma 147 and really like it. works in everything and loaded with aa#7 I get zero leading and 1070 out of handguns and 1270 out of carbines.
I have a 10 cavity ordered from ballisticast in the 978 listed above. can't wait to get that puppy up to temp and rain lead!

Mike Venturino likes the Lyman 356242 poured using Linotype lead. Linotype alloy cast larger @.357 from this mould. Thinner wall Winchester brass fits some smaller chambers better using oversize boolits, 4.0grs of Bullseye or 4.4 grs. of HP-38. Good article in October 2013 issue of Handloader magazine
Thumb up for Mihec s 147 grainer.It cast 146,x with weal weights and loaded round with this bullet will chamber wit max COLs in evrything! And it looks great!
I have the Lyman Lyman 356637 and the NOE 358 135Gr. I find both of them to be far more accurate than I am. The Lyman casts close to 154gr consistently and the NOE about 137gr. Both are with WW. The Lyman has a bevel base which makes lubing interesting.
I load both over 4.0gr of WSF. My Sig 226 is not overly fussy about OAL so I usually aim for 1.10".
Either would be a good choice and work great.
