    The base of the bullet is your max load, avoid any compression. Then they say to start at 70% and work up. I have found best accuracy at 80 to 90%.

    I have loaded .451 RB over trailboss in a 45 win mag (contender barrel). It was shooting cloverleafs at 35 yds. Quite fun.

    358429 loaded to crimp groove length in 357 cases will be too long for most revolvers. That's because Elmer Keith designed it for use in the 38 special case before the 357 magnum existed. I know...

    Thank you both, I agree it is a modern bond. It was a stock design apparently intended for the 25 Roberts (according to castpics).

    Help to ID mold

    This mold is unmarked except for C-257-938. I am leaning towards it being an early H&G mold but other opinions are sought.

    Yes, what Hardy says. Too much neck tension leads to crooked ammo. If I size to .311 then I want the expander in my "M" die to be .310.

    158gr in 9mm

    The old Lyman 44th edition has data for their 358311 which is a 158 gr round nose. With Bullseye they listed 3.0 as a starting load at 869 fps and 3.5 max load at 961 fps. With Unique they listed...

    I bought one or the other of those molds. The resulting bullet wouldn't chamber in any of three 8mm's I own. The boys that designed them got a little carried away in my opinion.

    Lyman used to include 9mm data for the 358311 in their older manuals. Lyman #44 for instance.

    Too much neck tension will cause crooked ammo in my experience. If I were using a .326 bullet, I would want a .324 or .325 M die.

    I have used 5 gr Titegroup in various milsup rifles with cast bullets; it makes good gallery loads. I went through a period where I wanted a gallery load for every rifle, fun while it lasted.

    The ammo companies used to use some really soft alloys back then and they would lead your barrel badly in no time. Those of us that cast our own can avoid this as you have.

    If you do a chamber cast, you may find a sloppy chamber, I did. Mine will only shoot well with 300 grain, I guess that bridges the gap better.

    There are too many powders with similar names/numbers. There is no excuse for three powders with "clays" in their name IMO.
