Have 30 year old Linotype.124 grain I am reloading with 4.5 grs of red dot and they are 925 fps 10 ft from muzzle...I use to shoot 31191 's at 1400 fps with no gas check..... with no leading.....Used tamarac lube........I am using Lee alox 2 coats...no gas check....IDEAS ON LEADING PLEASE......Using Brown HP....Charlie

What diameter are you sizing to? Of if you are using Alox are you shooting as cast? What diameter are they dropping from your mold?

Mine are sized at .358
No leading at 1200 with 50/50 range scrap/WHeel Weights. Considerably softer tha what you are shooting.

Not sure if the alox will stand up to higher velocity. I know NRA 50-50 (your old lube) will run
WAY past that vel. Hardness has relatively little to do with this. Fit, lube quantity and
lube quality are what will help or hurt. Use .357 or .358 diam for 9mm in most guns.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.

Sized .355...I have no idea of out of mold size as I haven't cast in years.....

For most 9mms .355 is an invitation to sideways boolits, leading and inaccuracy.

it's be a guarantee in any of my 9m's at any velocity.

it's all an educated guess,,,, till the trigger is pulled.

the more i find out about shootin boolits, the more it contradicts everything i ever learned about shooting jaxketed.

Sized .355...I have no idea of out of mold size as I haven't cast in years.....Chuck them and recast them.

Ask me how I know. Mining lead out of the bore, and have my pistol pattern at 50'. Sometimes even missing the target completely.
