Wondering if I could generate enough interest in Ranchdog’s gas checked 9MM. I had one of the Ranchdog molds but apparently left it behind in a hasty departure prior to a divorce.

Sized at 357 for 9MM and at 358 it worked simply delightful in my Puma Rossi lever action 38/357. I ordered one just prior to the demise of Ranchdog but was to late as they were all gone. I tried to fill the gap with RCBS’s gas checked 9MM mold and was some what disappointed in the results. Although the shot to shot accuracy with the RCBS is simply OK it did not perform as well as Ranchdog’s on paper but does cycle ok in my Rossi lever action.

I shot the Ranchdog version with and without the gas check. Although the gas check is not really need for normal 9MM velocities. Addition of the gas check dramatically improved the shot to shot accuracy in some old war horses. In particular 2, P-38’s and a shooting buds Spanish 9’s. One was an Astra, the other I just can’t recall the oddball name, it was some what of a 1911 look-alike without a grip safety.

I was on the verge of loading some super hot, gas checked 9’s for my Ruger Convertible’s 9MM cylinder but was unable to complete the project.

Sent a PM and begged, but no reply from the man. Too bad, I really wanted this to go. I am out.

I think it would be great if there were two different group buys with the 2 versions of this bullet–one with standard lube grooves, the other with the tumble lube grooves.  Personally, I would be up for a plain base tumble lube mold.
