9mm cast bullets tumbleing....

I ordered some 9mm lead bullets reloaded them and they are keyholeing in every 9mm I own (6 different ones) from all different ranges. I measured some and they are all .353". Shouldn't lead 9mm bullets be .356"? Would this cause the tumbleing? If that's not it anything ideas on what else it might be? Thanks

I'd send 'em back. They should be .356.

Who'd you get them from?

what bullet weight and load?

should be .356" some even use .357" sized bullets in 9mm.

147gr bullets lead or jacketed can tumble sometimes adjusting load can help.
