Hey All,

Casts well, they drop at between 119.9 and 120.1 with A/C W/W.
Length .5435"
dia. 361.5"
face .1990"
120 grain SC
Have not shot any yet.
Any Ideas??? Did some digging I'm thinking H&G 12c???

I have no idea what that is, but it looks like a keeper for sure.

Nice acquisition

I agree with Jim. I'd sure keep it around, it looks like a hell'ava plinker...

The boolit looks like a close copy of the Lyman 358345.

I have a four cavity Lyman 358345, my boolits drop at .360" diameter, the weight is 120gr.

The Lyman 358345 is a great shooting little boolit in a 38 spl.

My load is"

Lead alloy: WW air cooled.
Lube: Carnauba Red.
Powder: 3.0gr. of Clays.
OAL: Very light crimp in the middle of the front driving band.

Clays and WST are a real good powders for this boolit.
