Several weeks or so back I cast my first batch of handgun boolits. They were from a Lee TL358-158 SWC that dropped at 160 cast from 50/50 COWW/pure lead. They measured 3585 and were lubed with 50/50 JPW and "mule snot". Cases were mixed and the were over 3.4grn of Bullseye. Shot in .38 Special cases in a 4" Model 19-5. That's 25 rounds from 15 yards off hand (hence the fliers). I love this ... addiction!
I also tried some with Green Dot - 'bout 4grn (don't have that paperwork here). Not bad, but not great.

Now, for the 9mm. AND I got 2 more buckets of COWW from a guy a work with - cleaning out his dad's garage. I'll repay that kindness with cast boolits so HE can load some, too
