358156 hollowpoint

[David LaPell]

I got my Lyman 358156 back from Buckshot and promptly started casting from some wheel weights. I don't have any pics of the mould which is fantastic now. It took a little fanangling trying to use it with one good hand but once I got that down I started churning out bullets. Air cooled so they are a little softer than for some expansion, I hope to have lots of these ready come hunting season for the fall. If you need a mould worked on Buckshot is certainly the man.

You might even go with 50/50 ww/Lead for better expansion. Buckshot has never let me down.

I just wanted to give another hat tip to Buckshot.

WW HP's seem to fracture and shed off chunks from the nose for me. I had a friend shoot a Buffalo with some 520 gr. HP 45-70's I cast, and the nose broke off, leaving the shank to penetrate. It still worked OK, but I have gone to a softer alloy that holds together better. Buckshot does do nice work doesn't he? :)

He also hollowpointed my 358156.

Hands down the best bullet I've used in .357 Mag.
