Mould for a S&W M&P 9mm
« on: December 31, 2012, 12:58:11 PM »
 I need a mould for a  S&W M&P 9mm.  Any recommendations as to bullet weight and shape.  Thanks.

All of those M&P barrels I have measured have been right where they should be, so a .356" bullet will work. But measure yours first and make sure. Recently I have been shooting the Lee 358-125-RF in the 9mm, sized accordingly of course, with great results. It has a nice nose shape to feed in autoloaders. Lee also makes several good designs in 6 cav. style worth looking at, and the tumble lube ones are especially useful if you shoot large numbers of bullets. Tumble lube with 45-45-10 and they won't be tacky or build up lube in the seating die or gun. Lots of good choices out there for that pistol.

I am working up loads for the Lee 358125 also for my M&P Shield. Looks promising so far. Need to get back at it now that deer season is over for me.

if you can find some to test, see how the Lee 358-105 SWC feeds and shoots in your M&P

A third user of Lee's 125 gr. LRNFP. Shoot 'em in both my 9mm and .38 Special.
