I received this mould about 2 months ago.
My initial thoughts were to use the 150 gr. bullets in 38 Special and 357 Magnums.
Today, I thought......Umm, this thing might be a good heavy bullet for my Ruger 9mm Carbine.
I looked up data, found 3.2 grs. of Unique ( a conservative load....4.0 grs. of Unique is max. ) with a 147 gr. cast.
Since my bullet weighs 150 grs., I though.....OK, 3 gr. difference, close enough, let's load a few.
For right now, I'm using the 3.2 grs. of Unique load.
My bullets are sized .3575 "
My OAL is 1.075" with this bullet and it feeds VERY smoothly.
Now to get to the range and test these loads. BTW, my Smith Mod. 59, 9mm chambers these rounds smooth as silk.
Mean looking , UUhhh ? ?
