    The best (your favorite) 35 cal boolit...

    Like many of you, I am a 35 caliber NUT!

    I have many and I like it allot.

    Interested to read whats your favorite 35 caliber and why and what cast bullet is your favorite.

    For me, I like my NOE 360/232 mold best. Many I like a aweful lot. Hard not to choose a RD mold. (This NOE is reminiscent of a RD bullet)

    I shoot a 35rem the 190 gr ranch dog kills very well but the Lee 200 gr is more
    Accurate at full speeds .
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

    Plus one on the Lee Boolit.

    Purposely to allow guys to use the Lee and MP mold interchangeably. Great clone below.

    This is hard .
    For the 38/357 I can't beat the 358-158 RNFP LEE .
    The 358-125 RNFP Lee for 9mm , it's depth fussy in some but it's a shooter in all .
    These also make 6 at a time and I can run 20# and not look like Popeye .
    The NOE 358-90 RNFP 5C gets a nod for 380 .

    The 358 is a hoot with any of the above but for business the RCBS 35-250 gets the nod ,
    The 358-200 is ok but the 250 will run 150 fps faster for me and of course is 50 gr heavier .
    The 250 also groups better more often .
    In the time of darkest defeat,our victory may be nearest. Wm. McKinley.

    I was young and stupid then I'm older now. Me 1992 .

    For me in 9mm/38Special its the 358 147/155 Elco boolit from NOE. Second place goes to the 358-120B from Accurate. For 380ACP, the Lee 356-95RF has been great.

    Lyman #358156GC for the GOOD Hot Loads.

    Lyman #358429 for plinking.
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    Best accuracy for my 35 Whelen (1-12 twist) has been the NOE 360-230 RD and the NOE 360-310 FN (35 Thumper). Run them fast or slow, no matter.

    rcbs 200 gc is a great mold and reasonably priced. I also like the 220 lbt rfgc.

    In my .358 Winchester it's hard to beat the RCBS 200 grainer ...
    I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!

    NOE .358 147/155 ..My Tanfo 9x21 loves them [who said you can't shoot PC bullets through a 3 port comp..wrong] along with a Beretta 92. 2nd would be H&G 148 gr DEWC . 10 cavity mold that makes a pile of boolits in a hurry for my 52 Smith.

    LBT 360-160-FN or LBT 360-200-LFN. I can get the 160 to some crazy velocities in the FA Model 83 or in the 77/357

    For my Handi 35 Whelen I like Accurates 36-210A. Shoots as well as I can do it at a 100 yards and the big flat nose hits hard. The Saeco and LBT 250gr GC models shoot well too.

    For my 35 Whelen it’s hard to choose! The Rcbs 200, Rcbs 250, Saeco 352, Accurate 254C, and Accurate 260C are all outstanding

    It’s a great one and hard to come by. Load it in a 700 Classic 35 Whelen with Varget and it will lay down inch groups at 100 all day long

    The .358 Win... while I had 3, I now have one, a 22" Weatherbye Vanguard.
    I have been using the Lee version of the RCBS 200 gr gc with H322. I ran out of time for this year but will come back to it next year. Saeco's 245 grain gc bullet works well too, and I did take a doe with it. This year a 200 gr Hornady gummy bear bullet and H335 will be my all around load.

    I still haven’t fired the cast boolits you sent me! I have to work my way into my 35’s! I’ll have to brake on my new HP MP 200 grain mold. I casted up a good 40 lbs of lee 200’s in 50/50 and PCd them...and haven’t shot a one yet.
