Just got into reloading and enjoying it tremendously, I bought some missouri cast bullets for my PM9 and ruger sr9c and was wondering if cast boolits would be ok to shoot on our polygonal barrelled pm9.

here's the specific cast boolit I'm talking about:

I've been using Berry's plated 124 gr round nose for the PM9 with no issues, just could not resist the savings on cast vs FMJ or plated.

It’s not recommended to shoot lead in polygonal barrels...so I don’t...here’s the best prices I’ve found.

thanks for the info Rubb, ordered me some berry's 124 gr RN from the info you provided. I'll use the missouri cast boolits for my sr9c with less powder thinking 5.3 gr.

5.7 gr of alliant's power pistol + berry's 124 gr round nose + mixed range brass + CCI500 primer with a 1.115" OAL = one hot load for the kahr pm9!

Anything more and the kahr kicks like a mule!
