Can anyone identify the mould for this bullet?

[werik]

Hi All;

This 158 gr 38 special SWC bullet really shoots well out of my S&W model 14-5, 6" and would like to make more of them, can anyone tell me what mould it come from? I attached a pic.

Thanks

Kind of looks like a Lee 158 gr SWC to me.

Yup. I just went and got one to compare to the pic, identical. Not a stellar perfomer for me, I do much better with the Lyman version and better still with a RNFP in the .38.

Good morning WERIK & WELCOME about this little nitch of lead manipulation.
Most likely there are numerous molds available. One option is to go to the Classified area and in the "WANT to BUY" zone place an add.
If you have accounts on other web sights you might add your FEEDBACK info. Unfortunatly there are some evil doers about stealing from some good people. We have a deadbeat list that is growing so before you consider buying from an individual that is a good resource to investigate.
If a certain boolit shape works in your revolver "That is a winner".

Looking at the picture, it is difficult for me to tell what mold it could have come from. If your are going to shoot this design of bullet, you should look for a Lyman 358156 gas check. This would be for hotter loads, in both 38, and 357 If you are just wanting to load mild to mid range, look for a Lyman 357443. Lumpie
