    I have an older mold and think it cast a little small. It drops right at .357 with wheel weights. I like .358 in my CZ75.

    I'm feeding two Browning High Powers with it and occasionaly, I mail a couple thousand to a friend up north who is feeding a Sweish K.

    It's accurate and feeds well in my guns./beagle

    I have had a 4 cavity for a long long time, shoot it in 9mm and Super 38. Very accurate bullet in my 1911's and XDM sized .356. Did not do well in the old High Power that had an oversize barrel. Cast out about .357 from WW+tin alloy.

    I had one for a while several years ago and traded it for something else. I always believed that the nose was a bit too long and eventually bought the RCBS 115 CN which is also a truncated nose but shorter. I found it to shoot more accurately in the 9mm and 38 special. LLS

    That was "THE" 9mm bullet for many years.
    Accurate and punches nice holes. Feeds well in all my 9x19s and .38 Supers.

    Sorry, can't resist. I have one for sale in the swap/sell section. Only reason I'm selling, well 2 actually, is I was lucky & got a Miha 359-125 & it's great. The other reason is I'm leaning toward Savage rifle builds/barrel swaps & they're hungry for money. I like the design of the boolet & it even doubles as a 38 spl boolet, just slides right in the cylinder. Had to use the epoxy fix for a bullet seater though. The RCBS seater die I have didn't fit how I wanted it too, left a ring around about 1/3 way down the boolet when it was pushed in the case.

    Bought one a few months back and have been very pleased with it.
