Cast bullets are great, that's all I shoot in my handguns, and most of what I shoot in my rifles. Bullet lube is needed for all cast bullets, whether you buy them with lube or if you lube them yourself, that's up to you. Probably best to buy them lubed, less to worry about until you figure out what works best for you. The single most important thing to successfully using cast bullets is fit. If you buy 9mm bullets that are sized like a jacketed bullet at .355", you will have lots of problems with barrel leading. I like to shoot bullets that are at least .002" larger than my bore. Learn how to slug your barrel and buy bullets accordingly.
