HI,
Well it has been 2 yrs since I have been able to cast. Was away from home.
Used my new Lyman 158 gr pb. 4 cavity, new for me but had 2 previous owners.Worked OK just like my very 1ST. mold I started casting with in about 1969.
Funny thing is it is the same bullet I started casting with, for my 357 way back then.
Weird, or what works , works.:Fire::Fire:

i need to find a good lyman 158 rnfp 4 cav. the 2 cav is a bit slow as many of those boolits get used here.

You might want to try the Lee 158 RNFP 6 banger mold.
I have the GB mold that looks much like it and they shoot where I point them.

HI,
Well after I did a astronomy lesson plan for 1 of the new classes I am teaching ,I went out and cast up 2 more pots of the 38's. also sized & lubed about 736 of them.
Now i can fill up all my 38 special cases, which is what the new used mold is for.:Fire::Fire:
