Does anybody know a manufacture of a mould for a .38 125g Truncated Cone .358?
If so, where can I buy one?
Thanks,

Bill

Lee has a 125 gr RF and a 120 gr TC (listed as .356 but I know at least some that cast large enough for your needs - normally for 9mm). These are both listed under their six cavity moulds.

Accurate Bullet moulds can build one to your specs.

You might also check out Mihec and NOE.

My Lee 6 cavity 356-120-TC drops the bullets at .358 - .359 when cast of WWs + 2% tin. It is an excellent bullet. There are some 125 RNFP made for CBA shooting with .38 SPL and 357 Magnum you might check out.

Dale is spot on about the Lee 125gr. TC. I've ran several thousand thru my Uberti '73 without any issues. My 6 cavity mold casts .358". I run them in my Lyman 450 with a .357 die and 50/50 lube. My pot is set at 800 degrees. The 6 cavities will cast a lot of boolits in a short time.

I have good results with the lee 124 TC in both 9mm and the .38 special.

LY356402 should run about 124 gr. That should be close enough.

Another Lee 120 tc owner with a mold that drops .359 with WW+ 2% tin. Very accurate in my k-38 and Ruger GP 100.

Fecmech, I know you gave your dimension at .359, what are they weighing? Mine are throwing 126. Frank

A bit heavier at 135 gr but the #73 is a very cool bullet.
