9mm Caliber Cast Pistol Bullets – 125gr Round Nose (RN), NLG – Polymer-Coated Lead – Reloading Components – SKU 9MM 125RN NLG – UPC 421000303258
Build accurate, clean-shooting range loads with 9mm 125gr Round Nose (RN) Cast Bullets – NLG (No Lube Groove). These premium cast lead projectiles feature a modern polymer coating that replaces traditional wax lube, helping reduce barrel leading, smoke, and fouling while feeding smoothly in a wide range of 9mm pistols and PCCs. Optimized for high-volume practice, USPSA/IDPA training, steel matches, and everyday range use, SKU 9MM 125RN NLG (UPC 421000303258) offers the reliable performance, consistency, and value handloaders demand.
What does NLG mean? No Lube Groove bullets are engineered for polymer coating. Without the traditional lube groove, the shank is more uniform, aiding better concentricity, smoother feeding, and more consistent engagement with the rifling.
Key Benefits
Clean-running polymer coat: Replaces wax lube to help reduce lead exposure, minimize smoke, and limit barrel leading—especially helpful for indoor ranges and high round counts.
Proven 125gr RN profile: The classic Round Nose ogive promotes reliable feeding across striker-fired, hammer-fired, and PCC platforms.
Match-ready consistency: Tight weight and dimensional control support repeatable velocities and predictable POI for practice and competition.
High-volume value: Cast/coated construction provides cost savings for bulk reloading without sacrificing accuracy.
Versatile application: Ideal for general target work, drills, plate racks, and action shooting sports (where allowed).
Performance Highlights
Smooth chambering: RN geometry and slick coated surface enhance cycling, even in tighter match chambers and PCC magazines.
Reduced fouling: Polymer coating helps limit metal-on-steel friction and lead transfer, making cleanup faster between sessions.
Consistent seating: The NLG body offers a uniform bearing surface that supports consistent OAL and crimp tension.
Friendly on steel: Cast lead bullets are a classic choice for steel practice (always confirm range rules and safe distances).
Suggested Use Cases
USPSA / IDPA / 2-Gun practice: Reliable, economical projectile for building match-reliable practice rounds.
Competition tuning: Dial in recoil impulse and dot movement for better stage times (within safe, published data).
Pistol Caliber Carbines: RN profile feeds well in many PCC platforms—great for carbine matches and training.
General target & training: An excellent all-around bullet for skill-building and fundamentals.

Handloading Notes (Read First)
Always consult current, reputable reloading manuals and start at the published starting charge, working up carefully while watching for pressure signs.
Use published data specifically for cast/coated 125gr RN 9mm bullets and your chosen powder. Coated bullets can behave differently than jacketed bullets.
Confirm OAL and plunk test your finished rounds in your actual barrel to ensure proper chambering and clearance.
Crimp lightly: Over-crimping can damage the coating and affect accuracy/pressure.
Chronograph when possible: Lot-to-lot differences in brass, primers, and powders make chronographing invaluable for consistent PF and reliability.
Safety First: Wear eye protection when reloading. Keep powders, primers, and components clearly labeled and stored separately from finished ammo. Follow all local laws and range rules.
Why Choose Cast/Coated for 9mm?
Cost-effective training: More reps per dollar without sacrificing real-world recoil feel.
Cleaner shooting experience: Coating reduces smoke and lead contact vs. traditional wax-lubed cast bullets.
Easy barrel care: Less leading typically means quicker cleanup, so you spend more time shooting and less time scrubbing.
Storage & Handling
Keep dry & cool: Store bullets in a sealed container to protect the coating and prevent oxidation.
Avoid harsh solvents: Polymer coatings don’t require added lube; avoid chemicals that could degrade the finish.
Bench organization: Separate bullet lots for easy tracking of load workups and competition batches.
Who These Bullets Are For
New & experienced reloaders who want reliable, economical 9mm practice rounds.
Action-shooting competitors dialing in manageable recoil and consistent function.
Range enthusiasts & PCC shooters seeking clean-running, accurate bullets for volume training.
