I size 9mm at .356 but have run up to .358
You want to fill the grooves plus about 0.001".
Between size and alloy you should easily be able to get it to work.

I'll set up the Lyman 45 and Lee APP if anyone wants to size.

I run 50/50 wheel weight and soft lead at around 1100 when coated and using a slower pistol powder with no leading. Could probably drop the hardness more and still be fine.
