I'm feeding a Rossi M92 .357/.38 levergun. To date, the best bullet in terms of feed reliability has been the Hunters Supply RNFP 162gr. It's also proven to be very accurate ahead of moderate charges of HP38 in .38 special, and Lil'gun in .357 mag. This bullet has a small flat spot, and is the closest thing to a round nose bullet I would put in a tube magazine.
I'd like to cast a similar bullet. Haven't been able to find a mold that matches that bullet's profile, so I assume Hunters Supply flattens the point with a mechanical process.
I'm wondering if I can use a mold like the Lee TL358-158-2R, and flatten the tip?
I'm relatively new to casting, and I have never altered my cast bullets other than sizing. I'm looking for advice on procedures for flattening the tip. I tumble lube and size with Lee's push-through dies, so I don't have a dedicatede sizer press.
Will whacking with a hammer work?
