boolit in the 40 S&W? Or how about any of the 155 boolits? I keep my carry gun stoked with 155s and I'd like to keep my cast boolits the same if I can. How do the feed?

i allways wanted to try that bullet but never did because it only comes in 2 cavity molds and i wont waste my money on those anymore. It looks very much like my favorite 40 bullet. the 150 swc lyman that is discontinued. that little swc is a tack driver in the 40s ive tried it in.

I never tried it because it is only a 2 cavity. I ended up taking a 6 cavity 175gr TC mould that I had some bad cavitys in. The problem was the base of the bullet so I had the top of the mould milled down and ended making a 150gr TC flat based bullet. I is a great bullet and I use it as a steel shooting & plinking load.

I use it in mty Taurus 101AF--they feed just fine and offer good accuracy. I enjoy plinking cans with it.
