.........I have shot 110grain to 147grain and most work well but the middle of the road weight of 124/5 seems to work all actions in semi auto's and can be loaded to a wider range of velocities and still fuction well....this was both swaged factory bullets and home cast wheelweight metal bullets..........with dip molly type lube.......I DON'T do my own casting but had shooting buddies that we traded for their bullets and bought commerical bulk bullets.....hth..good luck and good shooting-loading!!!

Usually slugs in the 121-125 grain range.
