My new pet 9mm load

Not long ago I picked up some cast lead 124g flat point bullets from a fellow on thehighroad.org. I have no idea who made the bullets but they're very hard and have red lube on them. Anyway, I've been trying various length and powder charges to find out if they'd shoot. Today I hit it. 3.6 grains of Bullseye, Magtech primer and an OAL of 1.08". My results were < 1" 5 shot groups at 10 and 15 yards and an average velocity of 1040 fps from a 5" barrel @ an ambient temp of 63 degrees. Felt recoil was very light. It's an extremely soft shooting load. I took a fistful of them over to the 25 yard plate rack to see how they'd perform on the 8" plates and with the pressure of a shot timer present. There were no survivors.

Probably George Miller from Kead Bullets.

His bullets are ~21 BHN or so.

Harder than a banker's heart, maybe too hard for some applications.

I've used a bunch of them in high(er) pressure calibers with no leading. 45 ACP and other low(er) pressure calibers they lead like crazy, even with a good throat fit and decent lube.

But, they are well done. Ballisticast and Star Magma moulds for most of them.

You may be correct. The 122gr 9mm bullet he has on there looks just like it.

"This is the 122 gr Flat Point for the 9mm.
This bullet is sized to 0.3565"."

I am going to contact him. Thanks.

Let me know what you find out. Maybe we can get a bulk deal.
