Can someone tell me what the measurements are on a current 6 cav Lee 158 RF bullet. I have an old 2 cav (shown) and the OAL is .635 and meplat is .265". I'm wondering if that is still their current specs or have they changed the bullet design slightly. Thanks in advance for your input.

Cast from my 16-month-old six-cavity:
OAL = .633"
Meplat = .275"

This bullet design is my "go to" bullet for a standard field load for either the .38 Special or the .357 Magnum.

This bullet profile has many advantages... No sharp shoulders to hang up in a bullet mold. The RN profile self centers in a cylinder throat & barel focing cone. It hits targets hard, just like a SWC design, in fact it's nose it slightly larger than most SWC's that I've tried. I have found it to be very accurate and does extremely well in a 1894C Marlin carbine. Also, for those that have a Freechex .38 Cal GC making tool, on can modify a GC to fit on this bullet.
