Do any commercial casters make a +/- 180 grain Keith style semi wad cutter sized.401? Am looking for such for my 38WCF revolvers.

Some of these places are out of business, but the below site is a good place to start your search:

Decent resource too.

Try SNS Casting out of Flanagan IL. I'm not familiar enough with design to know what a Keith style looks like but he has a few.

Why not go to Accurate Molds, you will not be disappointed. The brass ones are so nice, you wont even want to use it.

The only low pressure/velocity 38-40 bullet I shoot in my original Colts and Winchesters is this one.
Soft 20:1 alloy and flat base of original design. It's one of the few calibers I don't cast for.

thanks for the replies. It would appear that I could probably have accuratemolds make me what I want.

It's not SWC but the RCBS 180gr shoots very accurate at 1300 fps in my 401 Powermag and did a pass through job on an antelope this fall.

the one 405 shows is the magma engineering mold that most commercial casters will have.
it does shoot quite well in revolvers though.
