    NOE 360-180 or RCBS 358-180 GC

    I have a Rossi 92 with a 24" barrel. Runs good with the Lee 358-158-RNFP. I want some real performance . These boolits are both heavy GC, with a RNFP profile. Anybody have any experience with these in 357 Magnum? I'm thinking more towards the NOE, as I've read the RCBS drops at .358 - .3585.

    Rcbs 180 is a very good bullet

    I went with the NOE even though I cut my casting teeth with RCBS iron moulds. I didn't want to be limited by diameter size, number of cavities, or choosing between GC or not. Result was a brass three cavity NOE's 180 RNFP that drops two PB and one gas check. Only option I didn't want, was the hollow pointing.

    I will always choose a NOE, Accurate or Miha mold over Lyman, RCBS or Lee

    I use the NOE in revolvers. Works just fine and hard to beat NOE moulds.

    Yes, I'm in for the NOE version. And it's available. Thanks to those that weighed in.

    My Rossi does not like the longer nose of the RCBS and does not feed them well. YMMV

    I use a virtually identical profiled LBT 180 grainer; this has become the only bullet I use in my Rossi because it just shoots so well. Like rintinglen, it does not feed well if loaded in 357 case. I load them in 38 case but crimped in top grease groove to get the perfect length for feeding through the Rossi.

    Use the rcbs 180 sil mold it's a very accurate boolits in my win trapper but when crimped in the crimp grove it's to long for marlin actions .you should check for function in case the short action of the 92 won't feed them .

    I use the NOE 180 in a marlin with no problems.
