RCBS moulds

[rmb721]

Does anyone here have any experience with RCBS mould #358-180-SIL or #358-158-SWC?
I would like to know what diameter they cast with wheel weights.
Accuracy one over the other?
Thank you for any replies.

I cast the RCBS 158 SWC for my Marlin levers sized in a .359 die and they shoot very well.
These bullets are cast from WW's , I've never bothered to measure them , I will tommorrow . They will be sized lubed bullets thou , but I don't believe when I size them that it removes any lead .
I have a discontinnued Lyman mold for a 215 grain SWC GC , that shoots better in my rifles then the 158 . I'd like to have a 180 grain SWC GC mold thou .

I've just about worn out the 158Gn one, well the detent balls are all over the shop and it gets a bit ornery when it gets hot, I lent it to a friend for a while and I found he had fitted it to a Magna machine and turned out squillions of boolits with it. I've cast lots and lots and lots with it over the years It still cast good and they are plenty accurate in my 586. Good no nonsense mould.

My 38-158-SWC drops WW+2%Sn @ .358-.359".

I shoot the RCBS 358-180 -sil in a Rossi 92 357 mag carbine. 16 to 16.5 gr of Lil'gun gets 1830 to 1890 fps. I size to .358 and use a check. Accuracy is under 4 inches at 200 yards with a Williams FP sight.

With my alloy, a secret, the bullets weigh about 195gr. Yes it is kind of soft but I get no leading and I do use a gas check.

I lube with RCBS Rifle lube, cause it was all I could find at the time. I found that if I lube over the RCBS lube with Lee liquod alox, I get 30 fps more with the same load.
