    Tested a new (to me) load

    Lee 358-158 RF made with my super secret alloy (4% Sb, 6% SN) over 13g 2400. I’m guessing it’s about 1100-1150 fps. No leading at all in my 4” Model 19-3.

    I’ve never considered myself an exceptional shot. Above average, for sure. But nothing special. But check this out.. only at 10 yd.s...but that’s 6 rounds...off of bag.

    If nothing else, it’s a good load.

    Mould forth, and load in peace.

    I really like the Lee 158 RF. Shoot great in my S&W M19 and the meplat is huge.

    That’s the load and mold I use without sizing in my Marlin micro groove barrel and get similar groups at 50yds.
