I'm trying to get a bullet mold that will shoot well in 3 different cartridges.
I have a 4" GP100 that I'd like to get a heavy bullet mold for.
I have a 14" TC in .357 Max that would seem to do at least OK with this mold.
I also have a 14" TC in .358 Win and a Ruger M77 in .358 Win.
Some of the load data on the Ranch Dog site looks crazy to someone that's never shot 35 caliber lead booits. 2200-2400fps with this bullet with a lever action .356 Win leads me to believe this bullet will work fine in my .358's. Heck 1800-2000fps would be fine for what i'm looking to do with it.
So has anyone here played around with this mold?
Would any of you guys recommend something else that would better fill my criteria?
Would the Lyman 195 or RCBS 200 better suit my needs?
Thanks for the input. :)
