Hello forum! Does anyone have a favorite 9 mm load using a 124 gr. lead cast coated bullet and Unique? I am looking at the ACME Bullet version. Any 124 gr. or 125 gr. coated lead cast bullet data would help.I know I'm old school using Unique. I have a good stock of it and I like it in my .38 Special, .44 Special and .45 ACP. http://www.acmebullet.com/bullets-reloading-brass/9MM-Lead-Cast-Reloading-Bullets?product_id=424 -
Thanks to everyone for your input. I have been getting some advice from the Cast Boolits forum. Not so much load examples as loading technique. My RCBS seater mangles the nose of the bullet. I stopped loading after a few rounds. Advice so far is to increase my bell to accommodate the softer bullet (I have only loaded FMJ's so far) and try using a 9mm seater (in the attempt to find a seater shape that more closely matches the bullet). I will provide feedback when I get a chance to load and shoot. leroy, Thank you for the load information. I had been using 4.0 gr. of Unique under a 95 gr. JHP. I planned on starting at 3.6 gr. (-10%) and work my way up. Since these are coated, I think I should be able to increase past 3.6 grains depending on signs of pressure, slide function and accuracy. tgtmaster

Can anyone recommend a brand you have had good luck with? Buying a matching upper and lower sounds like a good idea. Is it necessary? tgtmaster

I have shot both. They are both wonderful guns. I purchased the VP9 for the trigger and accuracy. It fits me. My personal preference. I don't think you can go wrong either way. tgtmaster

I just ordered some SNS Cast Bullets for .380 ACP: 95 grain Lead Round Nose - Polymer Coated Does anyone have experience loading this bullet? If so, what have been your results? Would you share your load data with me? The powder I primarily use is Unique. I have been shooting a 95 gr. FMJ bullet. I anticipate reducing that load by 10% with this Molly Coated bullet unless someone has better data. I have had good luck shooting Molly Coated Bullets in my .45 ACP and decided to give these a try. Thank you!
