Did Saeco ever make a 140gr. 38/357 RN type mould? I saw an auction for one and I am wondering if the 140gr. is a legit weight description or if it is truly a 158gr. Type the seller has incorrectly listed?
Thanks,

I'm looking at the 1986 RCBS Cast Bullet Reloading Manual number 1
It shows two RN designs in 38/357 #38-158-RN a 158 grain RN and #38-175-RN a 175 grain RN .
I see NO 140 grain designs in the 1986 line up .
That's all I can find but that doesn't mean RCBS never ever made a 140 gr. RN ...
more than likely though , according to what I've discovered , it's probably a typo ...
more likely a 158 gr. RN or not a RCBS mould .
The 175 gr. RN is listed as "Limited Production" mould .

Thanks Gary. I am leaning toward typo at this point too.
