Hi ,I'm new here,but have been shooting guns most of my life. I do my own reloading ,and casting,when I can find the lead. My favorite bullet has to be the 358429 I mostly carry .357's and find I get good accuracy with it.
Thanks For looking

Welcome aboard!
358429 and .357s (plural!), you're off to a good start. Now, you'll need several rifles and each will require several moulds to feed it. Then there's the large caliber revolvers, and moulds to feed them. Oh, yeah. Can't forget the auto pistols... and, of course, moulds to feed them. Wheel weight rendering setup, lube-sizer, toaster oven for heat treating, beeswax, Alox, gas check maker and probably a few hundred other things that slip my mind right now.
Welcome to the addiction.

Welcome TW!
This is a great site with lots of helpful members. Good place to learn from the accumulated experience of everybody. The vast majority of the members are decent, honorable people that you can trust.
It's a good place to learn how to disagree without being disagreeable. Remember that everybody's experiences are different, as are their political views, favorite guns, loads, and manufacturers/vendors.
Just remember to treat everybody else as you would like to be treated, especially if you get around to buying and selling things to/from other members.
Good to have you here.
You will find there are a few nuts on here that like really BIG revolvers. It might rub off on you if you are not careful!

Welcome to the asylum. The 458429 is my favorite boolit for the 357 too.

Always a place for another wheelgunner, that's for sure.
Thank you all for such a warm welcome. I actually do cast bullets other than for .357. I have a 429421 mold for my Redhawk and a Lyman mold for my Glock 21sf and 1911. I do most of my reloading with a Dillon 650 or my Rockchucker. Have recently went through and cleaned my father's collection,which turned into quite a job. I'll soon be posting all sorts of foolish questions,and probably giving worse advice.
Thanks Again

Hey 45nut, you got more boolits then I do!
45 Nut, you must have bumped your head. Those shells are rifle bullets!! Looks like the ones that I just loaded for a trip down a 32 in barrel not a 6 1/2 one.

Welcome TW from the great state of Texas. I'll have to post a picture of my Taurus Ragin Hornet revolver. It's a honkin big pistol for such a small caliber.
