    The micro groove barrel will shoot fine if you size the boolit to .311. I shoot Lyman 311041 (170 gr.), 311291 (170 gr.), Ranch Dog/NOE 311165 (165 gr.), and RCBS 30-180-FN (195 gr.), all very...

    When I read your question, I looked at the Lee site. He does not have .359 as a choice in the push through sizes. He does have .358. If I had a choice it would be .359 or .360.

    RCBS 38-150-SWC is my number one choice for 38 Special. It is very close to the Lyman 358477 (the old style) but I prefer the RCBS mold. I get boolits that drop from the mold at about 153 - 155...

    When you get your peep sight, get a large hole in the peep or just take the peep out of the sight. It will be just as accurate and much faster that working with a small peep hole.

    If you have trouble with leading your boolits may be sized too small. Try sizing to .311 and use a gas check and I think your troubles will be solved.
