correct Tomme.
I don't think people pay enough attention to the wall angle of their lube grooves when they have a mold cut.
they also have a tendency to put too much lube groove in them....

kept at target velocity levels it is a fine powder.
I have good luck with it in the 45 colt for cowboy type stuff, the 41 mag for short range bunny bustin, and probably everything mentioned above.

it will burn dirty.
I would be concerned if it cleaned up because your starting to push 45+K at that point.
if you can get the powder up near the base of the bullet I think you might end up with a...

the original lube groove for the XCB was just that one groove it was never supposed to be a large one.
the idea was to give about 68-% drive band length after set back from firing.

they are not closing their store is still there [open] and they will be doing their travel routes as normal.
their website is now basically just brownells.
which tells me they are looking to retire.

it will do what it does, I seen a recent test with 4350, and this bullet where 2500fps seemed to be the better accuracy node.

usually the flat rate boxes have 50$ insurance automatically, you gotta pay for more.
start a claim I bet they don't really care and just give you the 50.

if nothing else you found out that a proper .358 diameter bullet won't leave lead deposits behind in your Taurus.
but an undersized hard cast one will.

you'd never see it on target from a revolver. [or at 30-K]

they will work just fine.
I have shot that design and it works quite well at lower velocity's, they also slide through most leverguns pretty slick if you use the longer cases.

the 213 will shoot 358 just fine.
