Max load in the Lyman manual is 5.1 grs 231 (986 FPS) I would guess about 800 FPS , shoots accurate, has light recoil & easy to make. I load pink bullets for my daughter's gun.

4 to 1 ww to pure lead. Gas checked & sized .430 backed by 16.5 grains of Blue Dot. Has always done me good in a Smith 629 .321282
I've got this mold and mine cast at .358. It also powder coats great. I would want another mold that is correct in bullet diameter.319081

It's very easy to do........just get a good mold & try it. It can be a lot of fun.

BG products make a product called Brake Quite. It's made for squeaking brake pads. I coat my molds
with this stuff & nothing will stick to the cavity.
