    If I'm not mistaken, the original Remington .357 factory loads were made like that and coated with a heavy wax lubricant. They shot well but they leaded some too./beagle

    I shot some of those type back in the 1970's through my .357 Ruger Blackhawk. They were Winchester 158 gr "Luballoy" SWC's. After shooting some of them, I couldn't hit a Tide Box @ 25 yards. Never had before or since a barrel that was leaded up so bad.
