9mm 150gr Cast?

[hodaka]

Have any of you tried the SWC 150's from Bayou Bullets?

I usually use 231 for most applications but have some CFE and Unique. Can't find a load with 231 but I image 3.5 gr or so would work fine.

A 150 will be fine using 147 grain cast data. 3 grains won't matter.
Win 231 isn't a suggested heavy bullet 9mm powder. Although it may be that Hodgdon just didn't test it. Might be in their manual too. Best you give 'em a call and ask.

That bullet is going to have a lot of lead stuffed into the case. Make sure to find the longest OAL that will work and you should be fine starting with 147 starting loads.
