Lyman 358-665

My new mold is casting quite nicely but now my concern is that the boolits are casting heavy at around 166+ gr. Not close to the 158gr mark.

Are these still ok to load with 158gr LSWC data??

I have the 4 cav. Version of that mould. Mine weigh around 165gr.
I run these through my marlin 1894 .357
I load them in .38 cases over 3.2gr of titegroup.
This is just below starting load according to my Lyman manual.
You may use cation when approaching max loads intended for 158gr boolits.

Good to know. I've got some that are from a Lee mould that are ± 163gr I loaded to 4.4gr of W231 in .38 cases. That is the max in Hornady 8th edition. 850 fps listing...

So in essence I should reduce the loads slightly for heavier boolits.
