  3. WTS WTS/WTT .38/.357 & .44 bullet molds, .338 Win Mag dies

    A couple of molds that I have duplicates of. Both in used but very good condition, no rust, I've used both and they throw good bullets. Both are double cavity molds, as you can see in the pics....

    In my experience, Federal brass has a little less capacity and I've seen pressure signs sooner with it than Winchester. I now have some Lapua .308 cases but haven't started loading them yet. I have...

    Looks good! I've thought of trying something like that. There's a good bit of meat there but if you try to trim it out uncooked you wind up with nothing. One of my favorite underrated pieces of...

    Best bullet design for PC

    I recently acquired some Smoke's jet black PC in a trade and want to give it a try. Brand new to the PC thing, been doing it the "old way" for 40 years. I have both traditional lube-groove molds...

    Forum: Gas Checks

    .357 and gas checks

    Share with me your thoughts on the NEED for gaschecks on .357 mag bullets. I'm thinking here about full or near full power loads. I've used my 358429 bullets pretty successfully (very decent...

    My latest lever gun didn't get to me until 2018; just picked up a 1971 Marlin 1994 SRC in .44 mag. Already put a Williams Foolproof on it but haven't shot it yet.

    Thanks guys, that's helpful. Not dead set on using SWCs, though it would be nice since I already got molds. I figured the OAL thing would be a problem with 429421. I think my 429244 is a little...

    .41 will sure do the job. Before I narrowed down to .357 and .44s only for simplicity, I had three different .41s, two Rugers and a S&W. Only shot one deer with .41, but it performed admirably. Good...

    5-screw S&W .357 makes meat

    They were both big-bodied deer, especially the one Colt killed. We didn't have access to a scale but I'd guess he was pushing 200# live weight; big for our part of the country.
