158 gr. Lee RNFP TL boolit?

[sniper]

Does anyone on the forum cast and sell the Lee 158 gr. RNFP Tumble Lube boolit, sized .358? I'd like to buy 100, just to see how it works in my Ruger. Possible future purchases, given that I don't cast any more. Does anyone lube with Ben's? How does that work?
Thanx :cool:

I wasn't aware that Lee made a tumble lube 158 grain RNFP mold for 38/357 caliber.
Lee makes a standard lube groove mold in that design. Is that what you are referring to?
Lee also makes tumble lube 158 grain SWC and Round nose designs.

I am almost sure I saw a picture of one, once, but...maybe not! The standard SWC would probably do fine.

I've got that bullet, If you want I'll send you a 100 sized .358, lubed with WLL 50/50. Small Priority mail box, you pay postage and $2.50 for the LEAD. PM me with your address & and I can put them in the mail next FRIDAY.

358-158-RF, it's NOT A Tumble Lube. Works great in my Daughter's MARLIN 1894CS Microgroove.

You ever try it unsized with just a coat of lube?

I have used it unsized with a coat of White Label tumble lube and it works a treat. It is one of my favorite loads. It works well in all my 38/357 revolvers.
Mine drops at .359.
A couple of my revolvers size the boolit down a bit when it leaves the cylinder but it still shoots well.

Sounds great, I'll have to order one.

Finally found it! Mold TL358-158-SWC. I was beginning to think that "Oldtimers" had caught me!:wink:

It has to let go of me long enough to grab you...you should be safe!


I have the round nose version of that & it shoots well... good luck

[tazman]

I own both round nose and SWC styles in the tumble lube design. I also own the standard groove RNFP.
They all cast well and shoot better. I expect you will like them a lot.

I have cast thousands of them and have a few on hand. How many do you want? PM address

Years ago I shot up plenty and I do mean plenty. Not sized Lee 158's rolled in Lee's goo or soft Permatex the majority dusted wth Motor Mica. They performed excellent for me at 38 velocities but I did experience some barrel leading using hot rod 357 data. I parted company with molds favoring the Lee 125RF for plinking and the Lyman 38156 for more serious shooting.
