Ideal 360302

Anyone use this in 38 S&W? I know that Himmelwright designed it for 38 Special, according to all I've read. Mine drops at .361, so I thought I would try it in and old Colt and a 1920's S&W Regulation Police.

It may be accurate, but most likely won't hit to point of aim. Those old revolvers were regulated to hit POA-POI with factory ammo at either 25 or 50 yards, depending on when and by whom they were manufactured. I have a similar mold in 45 caliber, mine is a 457-401 and is useful in old 45 revolvers with typical over-size throats.

OK. worth a try. The old revolvers are in fine to very fine condition, as is the mold. I've had it for over 20 years, just forgot about it. It's old, Ideal, SC, smooth faced, no vent lines. I'm going to play with it sized from 358 thru 360 in several guns and see what happens. I have load data so I'm not starting blind.
