Henry 357 and Lee 358-158 RNFP

[Rich/WIS]

I cast for my buddy and he has the Henry and needs bullets. Regular SWC give feeding issues because of the sharp shoulder. Have the Lee mold and hope the RNFP design will solve the feeding issue. Have cast up about 1K+ of the bullets. Alloy is 96/3/1 or a little sweeter and will size .358 with XLOX 2500. Any one using this bullet in the Henry and can offer any advice or observations?

I do have harder alloys on hand if needed (92/6/2).

Bullet works great but I just load than up for target rounds. Us Trail Boss and 231

That boolit fed perfectly in my Henry Big Boy steel.

For the short time that I had a Henry Big Boy steel that is the bullet that I loaded. Sized to .358". It worked very well.

I loaded up several of those bullets just recently and shot over 50 of them through a Rossi .357. Smooth as butter.

FWIW Me too did the same just yesterday, shot about 100. Heat treated BHN 16, stout Vihtavuori N110 load (one gram), .359, Hi Tek coating.

I was hitting A5 size plate surprisingly good @ 75 meters and it was getting dark. Stock sights,standing.

That Rossi is not mine and has issues but the barrel is good. Yesterday kinda made me think about keeping it...

Great boolit for my Micro Groove 1894. Also, the bevel base will accept a gas check no problem.

Mine is a flat base...? It must have changed,my 6 hole mold is maybe 15 years old.
