I was reading on another forum and they were talking about a Lee c358-180RF bullet. However, I can't find anything regarding this bullet in the lee store so suspect this is an old design. Does anyone have information on this or by chance have a mold they would like to get rid of?
I want a heavier bullet for the .357mag plus I kinda like the Lee RF bullet design. And since I am on an unemployed/retired budget have to watch how much I spend of the wifes money LOL. :groner:

It's a group buy design that's been run here several times. It's a very popular design and works quite well, particularly in lever action rifles. Lee group buys are pretty stagnant right now due to excessive lead time and some recent quality issues. Used molds very rarely come up for sale and when they do, they are sold in an instant.

The good news is that you can get a very similar mold here:

It's a darn good boolit for use in 357mag revolvers as well. My 686 produces one hole groups at 25 yards when I load it with W296 & a magnum primer. Hang around long enough & it'll probably come up as a group buy again.

at NOE's site (see link above) it's the 360-180 WFN GC one.

A gentleman sent me a bunch to try in my Security Six. With Blue Dot it does wonders....
