358429 in .38 Super?

[crgaston]

Anyone tried this in a 1911 in either .38 Super or 9x23? I'd love to hear about it.

Nope. But HAVE shot plenty of the RCBS 38-162 SWC (GC) in my Witness 38 Super.

Cool! What kind of powder are you using? Velocity? Feeds OK?

............crgaston, feeds like a champ. A good load is that shown written on the ammo box lid. 7.4grs of surp WC820, or substitute AA9. I don't think RCBS makes that mould anymore. I'll try to remember to check the veocity tomorrow.

..............Sorry for the delay. Here's some load data. The pistol is a fullsize Witness, 4.5" bbl, R-P nickle cases. The RCBS 38-162 SWC(GC) was cast of lino and sized .358" and weighed 153grs before lube and GC:

7.3 Surp WC820. ES 7.2, 1271 fps
8.5 2400. ES 2.6, 1224 fps
5.2 SR4756. ES 7.9, 1208 fps
