On 9mm LRN that I cast I also had a couple of tumblers. I was using pure tire weight lead, and think it was a bit hard for a pistol, so am going to blend in some pure lead next time. I was using 4.0gn of Titegroup behind a 130gn LRN. Perhaps adding a bit more - 4.2 - will make it more accurate.

What were you using for bullets? The .30 Carbine LRN?

90 gr LRN from a top of the line bullet maker. .309+ Bullet is made for the luger or any 30 Cal pistol.
