^ I use that one too and it works well. Problem you'll find is that it's hugely popular these days - people are asking/getting $160 for them (eBay, Amazon, etc).

If I were wanting a 9mm mold these days and without wanting to be bent over a barrel, I'd be looking at NOE molds (or Accurate, Arsenal, etc) for something along these lines:

I have a 9mm Browning HiPower race gun my father had made up some time 1970 or earlier, which has a barrel groove diameter of about .3575". If you shoot that with a .355" or .356" Lead bullet, you will get fantastic Leading. The good news does not stop there: When I assembled a cartridge with a .358" Lead bullet, it would not chamber in the barrel.

 

Hi,
I have a BHP FEG Clone and use a MiHec (MP Molds)...

It is labeled 357-135 and works great in the FEG, with my homemade lube.

Admittedly, I bought my MP Molds on the "Cast Boolits" site during Group Buys and that was years ago now.

Once you use a brass mold you will be spoiled, and the MP Molds are excellent.

The only downside, I can think of, is they are heavy, but...

Ordered some cast HP for 9mm a few weeks back - mailed some to little-brother.. He is now jumping up and down to order some brass molds from those folks ;-)

Gotta' love it when a plan comes together...

 

This is one I had that was easy to cast and shot/fed very well. Looks like the frenzy has carried over to casting as well.

Hi,
I'll throw this in for the OP, after over 30 years of casting...

The RCBS 2-Cav Iron molds are really "sleeper" Molds, and...

They are EXCELLENT!!!

 

And their Single cavity rifle molds are great too. Great results with their 405gr GC 45-70 mold.

 

I agree with NuJudge. The actual bore size of 9mm's are all over the place. Buying a mold before you know what size the bore will require is a shot in the dark.
I have 2 CZs that require a .358 bullet. Their bore is .3567. The nominal .356 bullet tumbles. I bought a 125g RFN that is intended for a .38/.357 revolver.

 

Hi,
I like the STAR Lubesizers!

 

How are you planning on lubing the bullets?

That's the very first question to ask yourself.

I use Hi-Tek. I have an eight cavity MP mold that rains bullets. 356/359-125 Flat Round Nose, Flat Base, 8 Cavity Aluminum No Lube Groove Mold ~ MP-molds

You'll not find a better mold. Shipping is taking 3-4 days right now.

 

I don't know what my bullet lubing carrer is going to look like in the near future. I'm very happy with my old Lyman 45 with white label BAC... but it sure looks like powder coating is becoming the new normal. I'm not sure how long I can hold out before I dip my toe in the water.

Folks here have made some good comments about 9mm guns being a bit unpredictable regarding bullet diameter, so I'll probably hold off. I do hope to get a Browning Hi Power one day... I'll likely take the leap at that time.

 

That MP mold drops a .359 bullet. Add coating and it's .360.

I size all my 9mm bullets to .357 and haven't had a problem yet.

 

Just for kicks one day I tried my Lee 358-105 Mold, poly coated and sized to .357, now it's the only boolit I shoot out of my 9mm''s.

 

Have any of you ever cast copper bullets?

 

I seriously doubt it.

Copper has a very high melting point. It would destroy an aluminum mold, melt a brass mold, and cause serious heat problems in iron as the two melting points are within a couple hundred degrees.

It pays to know the melting point of various metals.

 

More likely they are not cast but swedged.
