    can you identify this boolit

    It is the one on the right. The one on the left is a Lee120tc, middle and right unknown. I got a couple bags of the middle and one on the right given to me and the one on the right shoots great in my 9mm. It is .606 long and weighs 106 grains and was sized at .356.
    I have looked at lot as of designs for 105 gr boolits but haven't found that exact boolit. I am out of them but would like to buy some or get a mold like it. Middle one didn't shoot very good. Lee shoots pretty good but the right one shot the best for me. Any help appreciated.

    looks like the RCBS 9mm-124 to me, even though the weight is way off. I have one somewhere which I got for $20 on this very board. I might add it is in great shape too. It was too good a deal to pass up. One of these days I'll get a 9mm pistol to go with it.

    Looks like a lead alloy boolit to me.

    I was thinking it was the RCBS 09-115-RN but the weight is still light for that.

    I think the 115 rcbs is it but the ones. I weighed were all 106~108 gr. Not sure what alloy was used, but these are at least 20 years old probably older. My uncle gave me a bunch of reloading equipment and he said he hadn't shot pistols for at least that many years.
    Thanks for the help.

    It looks like you have a bit of a bevel base on the boolit in the pic. Could be with BB and the alloy they used ended up 105.
