Tl358-158swc

[dskjeie]

I am wondering what the Tl358-158Swc is weighing for others using straight wheel weights? Not sized or lubed

[Wally]

162~165 grains

Thanks Wally

This is a very accurate bullet but it tends to lead my barrels when pushed to higher velocities. I have a Freechex tool and made some special Aluminum gas checks for it...no more leading. Its' bevel base takes a gas check quite nicely. I've found this to be an accurate bullet in all my .38 Caliber guns.

May I ask what you are using for a lube, and if you are sizeing, if you are sizing what sized

thanks for the info wall. I really do aprisheate it.

What lube? How much?

I am pushing this bullet to 1650fps in my Model 92 20 inch barrel with Zero leading ( and no gas check ).

Finally got to the shop so I could weigh some.

Average of 10 = 156.5 Straight clip on wheel weights.

Mine run 159-160 grs with WW's plus a little tin.

Mine run right around 158grs. with the tmble lube on them. Don't know what they weigh before, sorry.

LLA I do use a heavy coating.

Thanks for all the responses guys.
I happened to get mine weighed tonight, they are coming in at an avg of 158.97grains.
I am really impressed with the lee mold

No, Normal coating. Just enough to give the bullet a brown tint..
