257256My favorite 357 Boolit!!

I just got a 358429 HP after many years on and off looking!! (Same sane only HP). I also have had a 358429 2 cav for decades.

My hunting load is with heavy charge of BlueDot. A stiff load but safe in my Gun’s.

I've been thinking about buying that mold, and hoping it fits in my new 7 shot GP100, ,and old 686 dash 4

My ARSENAL H&G503 432-264 is a favorite

First, that is a beautiful boolit. Why do you call it an Arsenal ? Also, check your OAL figure. If my old brain recalls correctly, the empty 357 Mag case is 1.290" nominal or max, don't recall which.

Because it is an Arsenal brand mold.

Never heard of them so I looked them. I wonder why I have never seen that name on the forum before? Thanks 44MAG#1.

They should be more well known. Quality is every bit as good as NOE. They don't do a lot of custom work like Accurate, but if you ask and are patient, Arsenal does do custom designs. The great thing about Arsenal is that you get NOE quality at about half to 2/3 the price. NOE is great that they offer less expensive hollow point molds. Accurate is great that they do full custom ordering.
