If you are a newbie caster and hit BUY IT NOW on this mold I will toss some lead alloy for you in the box to help you get started casting. Just let me know who you are when you order it!

what is the od .355 or .357 0 -
The 358 number on the Lyman mold means it will theoretically cast a 358 diameter bullet with #2 alloy. I size them .358 with a alloy quite a bit softer than Lyman #2. I don't have any unsized to measure for you. 0 -

Not a bullet you would want for a super. Wouldn't feed for crap.
Not saying it couldn't be made to work if you threw enough money at the gun.
Generally you size bullets .001" over what your groove depth is. Sizing a bullet down .003-.005" is no big deal.0 -

The auction numbers have changed so I am worried about steering you wrong.
The 4-cavity mold casts a bullet primarily intended for the revolvers.
The 2 cavity mold I have listed casts a bullet of 121 grains and is great for the 9MM, 38 super and other calibers of that class. Depending on the alloy used it will throw a bullet of 356-3575 diameter. Unless you get lucky and find your 9MM has the same bore diameter as the Super you are probably going to need two molds to suit the needs. The .356 diameter will work great in your 9MM but be undersized for the 38 Super; even though Lyman lists that bullet in the 38 Super section, it would probably lead badly in your gun.
I sure hope that makes sense. [:D]0 -
