So I just picked ups 2 cavity Lyman NOS 358627 and I'm dying to shoot some of these bullets.
I read Fryxell's articles and saw his load data. I'm probably just going to go with his data.
However I was wondering if anyone has an old Lyman manual with load data for this bullet? I dug through some of my old manuals and I just seem to have a gap leaving me lacking a book that even shows this bullet.
Does anyone have the background on who designed this bullet? I read it was designed for the 357 maximum but was hoping for some more info. I like a good story.
I'm excited that this bullet loaded to the top crimp groove in a 38 case will just cycle through my Uberti 1873. It cycles smooth through my Marlin 1894 too so I should be able to see the difference from Fryxell's 650ish FPS in his revolver and a rifle length barrel.
I also want to test these out of a snubby to see if they tumble and make a mess in ballistic gel. Just for giggles to see if they mimic the old man stopped 38 S&W.
Doesn't anyone have any pet loads? Any fun stories about this mould? Or maybe some nice pics?
