hi everyone!
I've been going ham at the reloading hobby for almost a year now.
I've been using the Lee 6 Cav 356 125-2R mold PC'd and sized to 356. My overall experience has been good but this bullet hits rifling grooves on certain pistols such as CZs and aftermarket Glock match barrels.
I've been looking at the Lee 6 Cav 356 120gr TC Conventional lube groove bullet as most had success with that mold in almost all handguns.
My question is can I just cast and tumble lube it in Lee Liquid Alox without sizing? Specifically loaded at 1.08" COAL on 4.0gr of TG? Looking to push +P speeds.
Thank you!Anchors Aweigh

2. if you know how to cast and size you should know how to slug and measure.
3. if the bullets you drop are the correct already then no sizing needed (see #2 above)
4. These are not recipes. Recipes you follow blindly in the kitchen and they work fine or nearly fine every time. Blindly follow someone else's load data and you can have a bad day or a really bad day. Work up a load and don't call it a recipe. if anything call it a formula, at least then it sounds like there is some thought involved.Comment

I cast both of those bullets and prefer the 120TC over the 125 as it's much more forgiving in all 9 mil barrels, and much more accurate. My mold will drop the 120TC at .356" -.3565" and right at 125 grain using reclaimed range lead.
How are you PC-ing? Shake and bake or the proper way, electrostatic gun. Shake and bake is too inconsistent with coating thickness (typically too thick) and can cause problems with the 125-2R in some barrels. With a gun, those can be coated from just the base to o-give or completely with a light coating only .0005" thin, which may just solve your problem.
Both of those can be lubed and loaded without sizing, but if I were to push them with +P, I'd only do it using a harder lead mix such as Lyman #2. Also, +P and Titegroup should not be used in the same breath. Power Pistol is where it's at with +P.Comment
