Feeding might be an issue .
If any wadcutter has a chance of feeding it might be the 148 grain version (there is also a 158 gr. version , same # ) of Lyman #358432 .
Lyman has discontinued this mould , I have one and just for kicks ...
I used data from Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook #4 for 147 gr. cast RF to load the 148 gr. WC's , starting load of 2.8 grs Bullseye @ 780 fps was not quite enough to give 100% cycle my in old 1944 Walther P-38 , so went to 2.9 grs and then 3.0 grs Bullseye with the 148 gr. WC ...
Those two loads were just the ticket ! 800 fps ... bullet was sized .357" ... that old P-38 will feed just about anything and the Lyman #358432 was no exception ... and it is a WC and a nice accurate target 9mm load !
