help I want to shoot lead

<Price is the only reason I'll use lead.>
Exactly. Those 158grn bullets for my 357 cost 1 1/2 cents a piece.

Don't see why folks give up on cast bullets in 9mm. Works for me, just took a little more effort to find the right loads than some other cartridges.

Yeah, the 9mm is a PITA to deal with when using cast. It felt like a never ending struggle. Alloys, powders, decoppering and polishing bores, lubes, different molds, M dies, case swaging, partial case sizing, modifying neck sizing dies, etc.. it sucked! Turned out the cartridge case was swaging my boolits down to 0.355" and I was getting leading from blow by. A modified 38spl M die plug in my M die did the trick. All is well now.

I second the cast boolits forum. Good guys that dont mind helping you out.
