158gr cast lead 9mm?

[EMB 1]

Well, I picked up some 9mm lead bullets at the Oaks show, and they are 158gr. I checked my Lyman book and the Hodgdon website, and they just have up to 147gr listed for 9mm loads. Does anyone have any reference that lists 157gr lead in 9mm? I'm thinking that it is non-standard for 9mm, and more of a 38 spc bullet... Any thoughts or suggestions on the correct powder for Winchester 231? I don't even see 231 load data for the 147 lead... Should I even attempt this? Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Break out the calipers. If they are .358 or so, you got 38/357 bullets.

158 grain is a common 38 special/357 mag loading.

Thanks for your replies. Yup, that's what it was. I guess next time I should take the digital scale. These were just marked 9mm, and I actually thought they were going to be closer to 115gr by the look of them.
