I got my second mold from Accurate this afternoon after much anticipation, and it's just a beautiful as the first. It's a custom design (36-159S (http://www.accuratemolds.com/bullet_detail.php?bullet=36-159S)) intended to be a do-all boolit for a small 357 mag revolver, so it has a nice wide meplat, some ogive to make it at least nominally speedloader-compatible, and it has a high crimp groove because there ain't nobody that likes to shoot full power magnum loads out of a J-frame... so this one should take up some case capacity and make lower-power loads more accurate.

286340

This just leaves me with one problem....

What do I order next?

That is a beauty. Should be a good "thumping" bullet design with that meplat.

i feel your pain ! why not order a 314299 clone, have it shipped to me, there i will break it in for you while you work with your latest 36-158s....that way you dont have to worry about what your next will be. sounds like a win-win to me as the 314299 will be ready when you are ! oh, dont thank me...its the least i can do.

Looks nice, except for the lack of a lube groove. :p

See, this is what I like about this site. The folks here will bend over backwards to help someone out. What a great thing to offer, the mold gets cleaned and broken in, then gets sent to its forever home a couple of years later ready to please. :)

That mold is made for powder coating. Boolits fall out nicely. Most of my molds are the tumble lube type and now that I have a lube sizer I wish they weren't.

I know Charlie. Note the "razz" emoji at the end of the sentence.

Wasn't being critical, just thought others might not know that.
