    need some opinions

    I'm thinking about getting the Lee 358-158-rf. I'll probably never hunt with it, but does any one have experience with it? I have a Lyman 148 gr.wc that I can load some cases with, but this looks like something I may very well be interested in. I don't like the Lee SWC and am not a
    Fan of TL designs.

    The RF designs from Lee works very well in most revolvers. I've used a lot of 125 RFs in both revolvers and 9mm autos. The only difference is that the 158s are longer, so I can't imagine that it wouldn't work in most guns.

    I have a Lym copy of that mold. Easy loading in revolvers over a K style SWC and cycles smoothly in a 92 lever gun.

    Thanks! I ordered a six cavity mold from Midway ... unfortunately they didn't have any handles in stock.
