Greetings!
Until I can get back online casting my own bullets, I purchased a box of State Line cast 158gr SWCs.
I am using the RCBS Cast Bullet Manual #1 and the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook (4th edition) and having some difficulty matching the State Line bullet (an H&G 51) with any of the listed bullets. My questions include:
a) what Lyman mold would cast a bullet closest to the H&G 51?
b) since the bearing surface looks similar, could I safely use the data for either the RCBS 38-150 SWC, the Lyman 358665 or 358311?
I am looking to use either WW231 or Bullseye in a 38 Special for use in a S&W Model 686.
Thanks in advance for your help!
