the boolit not whatever you were thinking :mrgreen:
I've been secretly hoping to find my cast bullets in the berms at the range. It didn't happen. Until today... maybe...

I recovered the bullet on the right. Is it mine?
The one on the left is a Lee 358-158-RF with a plain-base gas-check, 18BHN sized .359"
pros:
the height is pretty much the same
the number of grooves matches my 0.357 GP100
the lack of lube is consistent to my using a rather soft lube
the lands engraving at the top are wider than at the bottom (consistent with a heavy load of 15gr Alliant 2400 -> 1400fps from a 6" barrel)
cons:
the "band" above the crimp groove is way wider on the recovered bullet.
the gas check shank seems shorter (gas checks I use are 0.01")
what do you think?
