I bought one these moulds this summer in the group buy and so far with limited use in the .357 mag I'm happy with the bullet. I was wondering if anybody was loading it for their 35 Rem and if so what's working for them?:Fire:

I had the Rossi M92 357 levergun in mind when I drew up the bullet. I've heard from others that the nose is abit fat to allow seating the bullet very far out.
I believe that someone was working on a variation with a smaller OD nose and more crimp grooves. I don't know if it has been ran yet or is in the process of a group buy.
I really like it in my Rossi m92 and revolvers. I was going to try it in a 9mm Largo, I just haven't found the time yet.

It nose engraves heavily in all the 35 Rem. i've tried it in. You can close the lever, but it is a strain to do so. Boomer Mikey is running a GC and PB group buys for a 180 gr. that is for rifles in the group buy forum.

Lar, Junior has done an excellent writeup on that bullet and the Rossi. You can find it in his webzine "The Frugal Outdoorsman".
