I bought one last year and have tested it in my 6" .38 Special & my 8" S & W 27. Uisng 3.5 grains of Bullseye in the .38 Special I get 900 FPS MV/ with 6.0 grains of Bullseye in the .357 1,200 FPS MV. It is quite accurate and I am very pleased with it.

I don't have any loose bullets to send to you...

Prior to using this mold I used the Lee 140 SWC which is also a graet performer...however the 140 cast at .363" (with WW metal) and I don't like having to resize it down to .358".

As the bullet is accurate and light---I get more bullets per pound of metal. A std. 158 grain .38 Cal bullet, you get 44 to the pound--with the 125 grainer you get 56...this save a lot of lead as I shoot 3,000 .38 caliber bullets per year...it save me about 14 pounds of lead per year.

I have also used the Lee 105 SWC---it is a bit too light and requres more powder to obtain 900 FPS--MV. So I prefer the 125 grain RNF to it.
