OK now I read in the post about water drop or not someone said that the boolit setting or store for a peroid of time well get harder. I also just got my Lyman cast handbook and remember reading something in there that said the same thing.
So is that true and how does that work. I just had a leading problem show up in my .357 using the same mold the only thing that changed was they were just cast about 3 days before I shot them.
Then I switch to a heavier 158 gr boolit that was cast about 3 week ago and no leading. So if they do get harder over time how long before they reach there full hardness.
Ok one more question I just got the Lyman's cast handbook a short time ago and I see that they have no powder charge for a 158 gr boolit in .357 mag revolver using Unique. Does anyone load using unique for .357 and what do you use as a starting load and a max load. I use a lot of unique and it would be handy if I could use it in my .357 with the lee 358 158 RF .
