I've got 5 38 caliber revolvers and I'm sure several of them will like this boolit. I have that RCBS Lube-a-matic II and .357 and .358 sizer dies waiting. Particularly hoping my 1956 vintage 4" K-38 does well with them.

Well they all seem to like these boolits. The mold cranks out nice ones too. 158 grains is a fine .38 cal boolit.

That's a generous lube groove. Do you lube or PC?

I recently started lube sizing for my 38 and 44 wheel guns. Using the simple lube recipie from the sticky. Have had fine results with the boolit in my 686, 27, 60 and K38. Drops at .360 and I size to .358 and .357 depending.

I like generous lube grooves because as simple as it is to lube and as cheap as it is, I would rather have too much as too little. This bullet looks similar to my RCBS 38 150 and it shoots very well out of my Model 14 and my Python.

I am really sold on traditional lube for my straight walled pistol cartridges. After getting all geared up for casting I was hesitant to spend the money on a lubri sizer. Really glad I finally did.

I don't think you will regret the lube/sizer .
Use soft lube in it for handgun boolits .

Yep, been using the simple lube recipie from the sticky in the boolit lube section. I pan lubed first as a test and got good results and then got the lubri sizer. The simple lube works great in it.
