Last week I cast about 200 bullets in the BHN12 area with the new Lee 358-158-RF mold lubed with Carnuba Red.. Anxious to try them out today, I loaded about 100 with a couple of different loads in 357 cases with HS-6 and Universal and also had some rounds made up with the Lyman 358429 mold. Groups ranged 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" at distances from 7-10 yards with 15-25 shots each group string. Others may do better at twice this distance but for me, I was pleased. I was extremely happy about these results from both bullets and even more so with the accuracy of both since this was my first cast bullets in a very long time. I've gotten hooked once again.

If the primers ignite and the powder burns, the boolits exit the barrel without leading, and you are happy with the accuracy, load 'em up.
