Nope, those were the .38 swc, .358...if you need a bit more testing I know they,would give you a handful to load up and try again.

I had good results today shooting Chey-Cast .38 caliber 140 grain TC. sized at .358 through my Beretta 92. Load was 3.5 of VV-340. I had some leading in barrel but it may be due to high speed. I will reduce the load and see if it makes a difference.

Adr, will be interested to see what your mv is. Where is your powder on the burn scale, fast or slow? Seems like slower powder works better for me.

VV-340 is a slow burner -- probably on par with Unique. I had poor results with fast burners like Titegroup --keyholing and no signs of a group especially at the 50 yard line.
Titegroup worked OK for me with jacketed bullets.

Adr,
Seems like Titegroup is either hit or miss when it comes to coated bullets.
Admin,
I think I would prefer the oversized 9mm bullets.

Was at Chey Cast this morning, they said next time you are there tell them jow many you want and they will try and set some aside for sizing to .358. Other option is if you only want a few hundred to make sure I might arrange a meeting with a sizer you could use.

One advantage of the coated bullets is they need no lube for sizing. For these I love the Lee sizing dies. Simple, cheap and fast to do. They glide through the sizer like butter. I think the dies are around 20.00 each.
