Lee Mould 9mm

That's a tough question to answer... I have several Lee 9mm molds and while they are all accurate in one gun or another, none of them are accurate in all guns. If I had to pick one, it would be 90387 though.
 
I've never had good luck with cast in a 9mm; at least cast bullets in the traditional sense (tumble or wax type lube).

Powdercoat on the other hand has been great, I run a Lee 90465 with cheapo princess auto powdercoating powder. I find that PC bullets perform very consistently in most of the handguns I've run it in and are the closest thing to a FMJ/plated bullet.

Your mileage may vary though, there have been plenty of guys that run a "traditional" cast bullet with good results.
 
There are 5-6 of us that shoot together that run CZs of some sort (old Shadows, Shadow 2s, TSs) and we have all had success with the 120 and the 124gr molds. We powdercoat our bullets. I personally have a Shadow 2 (and used a Shadow 1) with the 120gr. I have no issues with accuracy except for last year at the PPC provincials when there was a nasty crosswind at 50 metres and my bullets were getting blown off course
 
Have you tried 147gn boolits? All of my 9s like them (CZ85C, BHP, M&P).

Does it have to be a Lee mold?

I've got several 9mm molds but as far as lee goes i like this one, perfect for powder coating. They seem to be plenty accurate through my factory glock 17, norc 1911 and black hawk convertible.

That's the one I have as well. Seems to shoot pretty good from what I can tell so far. I'm still running a lube/sizer.

Sure wish Lee would make a 147 mold though.

This one. Casts easily, powder coats well, available in 6 cavity design. I've put maybe 1500-2000 through my 2 CZ Tactical Sport 9mms without a single FTF. Very accurate out of these guns as well whether tumble lubed or powder coated. It has a fairly long bearing surface which helps with stabilization. I size them at .356.

Did you actually manage to get that to chamber and feed through a mag? I would have thought a 200 grainer would cause a COL way over max.

Might work ok in a revolver.

I was not going for a 200 grain load. Had all my new 9mm reloading gear but no bullets so I used my 38 bullets.

It be interesting to develope a load though.

Tolerence +/- 1 grain @ 124

Two on the left ~ -1.5 grains. Pretty consistent.

About .359 after PC
