Lee .358 140 SWC mold for 9MM
Sorry if this meant to be under bullet casting,
I have a Lee .358 140 SMC mold I bought for 38pecial But was wondering If I could size the down .356 to fit 9mm luger? I will be powder coating these. |

you should be able to, however they may not feed well, but it would be worth a shot IMHO.

Shadow, The Feed Ramp on my xdm 5.25 is polished and is pretty wide I guess to feed hollow points reliably, It would be interesting too see how they do.

I would size them to .356 and give them a try! let us know how they work out.

.356 should work with PC. I usually use .357 but depending on the gun and the OAL used that can cause issues...
I have used that mold for many thousands of .38 Special rounds and prefer it over most other molds. For 9mm it works but definitely would not be one of my top choices... |
