SAECO #354, 180 grain .38 dimensions

[imashooter2]

Can anyone give me the meplat diameter and crimp groove to nose dimensions for the SAECO #354, 180 grain RNFP .357/.38 bullet? What diameter does your mold drop?

hi the meplat is 0.230 and the crimp to nose from the top of crimp grove to the bullet nose is 0.310 . i dont have any to measure as all have been sized to 0.358 but 0.359 to possibley 0.360 should not be a problem . good luck bob !

Thanks Bob. I've been eyeing the SAECO as an alternative to the Lee group buy mold I was too foolish to get in on.

I'm still waffling over the price. I just know that coming off my wallet for one of these will be the catalyst that gets the next Lee GB going.

you wont regret buying a saeco mold there quality is even a tad better then rcbs and much better then a lyman or lee. If treated even half way well theyll cast for your lifetime.
