15 years ago or so I purchased a Master Caster, Star Luber & a few moulds. One of the moulds was the Saeco 928. This mould laid dormant for several years. I did make one run of these for Jim Taylor of sixgunner.org fame for his 92 Winchester clone.
Several years ago I purchased a PreB CZ75. I didn't purchase a mould for this handgun as I wasn't sure I would keep it so I used the Saeco 928 in the Master Caster & laid in a good supply of bullets for the CZ. I sized these .358 & lubed with LBT Blue Soft or Carnauba Red.
I loaded several hundred of these in mixed 9MM brass with 3 grains of Promo. I went through them like corn through a goose. The next batch I decided to up the load to 3.5 grains & the load remains the same today.
Shortly after purchasing the CZ a S&W 67-1 came my way. I decided to try this same bullet in the Smith. Again I loaded a couple hundred with 3 grains of Promo. These shot well but needed a little more pressure so the next batch I increased the load to 3.5 grains & it remains there today.
The little bullet is plenty accurate & feeds well through the CZ & also with speedloaders in the Smith. I like the bullet. It falls from the mould at .359-.360 depending on alloy. It weighs 147 grains mostly.
I have used it in a Smith M&P Pro 5", a Smith Compac 9 & a couple Model 10s. IMHO it is a great bullet & I'm happy. Here's some pictures for your viewing pleasure & I'll be happy to field questions or commits.
