I have recently acquired an IDEAL 358 439 HP mold.
I have read that the nose can be too long for some of the older S&W m28 cylinders unless crimped on the forward edge of the front driving band, but Im wondering if anyone has had issues using them in a Rossi levergun when using the original crimp groove?
The reason I ask is I loaded some (unknown make) 'Cowboy Style' RNFP's and when using 357 magnum brass, crimped in the groove they are too long for the Marlin & Rossi leverguns. They are slightly too long & hang up in the mag, unable to 'lift' into the feed position. I had to disassemble the mag to get them out.
I'm suspecting the same problem might arise with the 358-439 and was hoping to hear from others who use them to see what their experience is.
