    Looking for a 215gr boolit for the 1894C

    I have had a source for a trickle of Lyman cast 215gr GCSWC for a few years, love shooting steel plates at long range with this one... But, my source dried up. So, I am looking for a mould that will cast something in that weight range that will feed in .357 mag cases, not 38 Spec. cases, in my old 1894C...

    Looking for bullets that are known to work with this combo, since moulds are to expensive to buy just to test.

    Thanks Matt

    That 215gr GCSWC mold was probably the 358627 lyman mould. Look it up and see if its the same boolit. If so, check out NOE, I think they have a version.

    I am sure it was. But, I really need the same length and crimp groove placement. Not much wiggle room.

    Have you had a look at what Accurate Molds has available?
    If what you have matches his design criteria he could probably make a pretty close copy of the original for you.

    They offer a gas check version as well.
