Lyman 38 cal Boolit Mold with 2 Crimp Grooves

[deltaenterprizes]

And if you can find a Lyman (or Ideal if its old) 358-156 grab it even is its a one cavity mold. It is a very good bullet design-- one of the Ray Thompson classics (IIRC). I actually bought mine because I needed the handles-- didn't know anything about the mold. Now its the number one choice for both my 38 Special and my 357 Magnum.

One popped up in the Swappin and Selling section shortly after I posted this!

358156 has to be my favorite mold for my 38s. Shoots nice out of everything

I was always impressed with the versatility, by design or coincidence, that allowed Skeeter and others to make 357 mag rounds using 38 Spl cases and seating the 357156 bullet out one groove higher. I seldom used gas checks with mine and wondered about having the shoulder reamed out or later having one of the boutique makers make one to order w/o the GC groove.
