9mm loading question

[lordt313]

I have always shot .355 diameter bullets but came across a good deal on some listed as .356; will this work for 9x19 (luger) reloading?

Thanks

Yes, in fact lead is usually marketed as .356. Of course they have to be for 9mm, not 158 gr LSWs for a .38 special.
What weight and shape are they?

38 Super is traditionally .356 and 9mm .355 You will find the bore of 9mm vary and I have seen .355 on up to .358 in a few I have checked. You could mic the barrel and see for your own pistol. To answer based on what I know if you are talking cast bullets...yes...I am not sure on plated or jacketed bullets.
