I ordered the 36-155C bullet mold from Tom at Accurate Molds near the end of May and received it a few days ago. I was expecting a longer wait but Tom gets these out to us in short order! I plan to use the bullet for black powder in the Uberti 1872 Open Top 38 Special as well as the Pietta 1873 SAA (Alchimista III) in .357 Mag. The bullet has a very large grease groove which will hold a lot of SPG lube or a homebrew lube to keep the fowling soft.

I ran off about 300 of these today and loaded up a few test loads with 12 grains (by weight) of Pyrodex-P in the 38 Special cases and 14 grains (by weight) in the .357 magnum cases. Sized at .359 and carrying a payload of SPG bullet lube, these slid into the cases right nice. Cartridge OAL is 1.450 for the 38’s and 1.580 for the .357 Magnum.

It got too dark and late to fire these off tonight although the display would have been fantastic. It’s actually too hot tonight and I don’t feel like sweating out in the shed cleaning the revolver tonight. Posted are some pictures of this great looking bullet. Thanks again to Tom at Accurate Molds for producing these wonderful bullet molds.
