Hello all, I have recently added casting to my reloading portfolio, and
I have a question regarding the Lee 9MM 124GR Tumble Lube mold.

If anyone has the same mold, are you shooting these bullets as is, or
are you resizing them as well before loading?

My pet load to date for this round is 5.1 Gr of AA#5, matched with
standard CCI SP primers. To date, I have found that my Glock 19 with
it's Wolf Bbl, seems to shoot these bullets much better unsized. Anyone
else experience this as well?

The need for sizing depends on the actual bullet size your getting and the bore/throat size.

I dont particularly like the TL bullets, haven't really used them though either, as they dont seem to have much room for lube, I imagine after sizing the lube grooves will hold far less than previously.  This would play a role in your accuracy as would now having an undersized bullet bounce around the bore before exiting.
