I just bought an 8 cavity aluminium 160gr .356 and 6 cavity 147gr .356 made by MP molds on GS. Been looking them over in anticipation of a spot of casting and powder coating this weekend and I'm absolutely blown away the quality of the things. They are exhibition grade and I can't wait to get stuck in.

160gr in .356" - I suppose that is for 9mmP?
What do you use it for? Generally, 147gr is the heaviest load in competitions?

I would guess a 160gn 9mm would make a nice subsonic load from a 9mm carbine?
Finding enough space in a 9mm case to seat the 160gn bullet and a few grains of powder may be a challenge, off course depending on the max COL the chamber and mag will accept.
I found that case wall thickness (and taper) varies a lot between makes. Sorting them might help to prevent excessive bulging when seating the long bullets.
