358429 and 358311

[Stopsign32v]

Just finished casting some 358311 and I think I'm getting the hang of it. Once I get going I keep it moving pretty quickly and so far so good. These are powder coated and in some 357 brass.

Nice! Are they chamber checkers or are they live ammunitions?

Those look good, how do they shoot? It looks like you might have a little PC scraping off on the 358311 in the second pic, right near the crimp. Might not be, could just be the picture, but something to watch out for. I find the Lyman M-dies very useful for avoiding that. A little extra bell at the mouth, plus an inner chamfer, makes that go away, if that is indeed a problem.

Nah, there's no powder or primers in these. Just wanted to load some powder coated rounds. Chamber good and everything but those noses are CLOSE to the end of the chambers!!!

They would be so much fun with Winchester 296... it would also be an opportunity to check for crimp jump[emoji41]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210820/69360f709c34d740a27b0ae8e1e0defe.jpg

That '311 just plain shoots in all my 38/357's. Also have the RCBS version of your '429, another good solid design. Both accurate & favorites of mine. Nice castings, by the way.
