I am looking for a 38/357 , 158 grain, fnfp mold to use with blackpowder. Looking at the pictures of the lee molds it looks like the lube ring is pretty shallow. I prefer a ring that will carry some lube since this will be shot out a 20" barrel. Am I on track or a lee mold be good . I prefer to stick with a 2 cavity mold. Plan on resizing to .358. Thanks

I have the Lee 158 RNFP. It is pretty accurate in .357 Rossi Lever, 6.00 gr Bullseye. TC .357 Max w/7.00 gr. Bulseye. No problem with leading, sized to .358, tumble lube with Lee alox and Johnson paste wax. There are probably better powders for this bullet, but these loads work so well I haven't seen the need to try anything else.
