I have that same Lee mold. I can load them to the crimp groove. They feed in my Rossi 92. The only 357 revolver I have is a Taurus poly defender. That is my wife’s so I don’t shoot it much. She...

Thank you for that info. I think I have a couple pounds of 2400 so I can help him do some testing. I’ll dig out my Lee book and check it out
Forum: Cast Boolits
I just pulled out a bunch of 357 ammo I have. One box is 200gr Lee mold cast. I remember testing them now. But I used them in my Rossi 92. I forgot I had these
Forum: Cast Boolits
Once I have the mold maybe I will load a dummy round in a 38 special case. Then I’ll know what fits
Forum: Cast Boolits
I’ll find out. I’m trying to get the exact mold he ordered. If it doesn’t work out I’ll let you know. It’s a 2 cavity that’s all I know so far
Forum: Cast Boolits
Yeah, I get ahead of myself. I just don’t know much about loading 200gr bullets with a long nose
Forum: Cast Boolits
I was reading all the back and forth with using 38 special cases. I was always thinking if it got stuck in a 38 special with a 357 magnum load. Maybe I’ll have to section a 357 and a 38 and check...

I don’t even think of that. Makes me feel better about them making their way into a 38
Forum: Cast Boolits
I absolutely agree. I think he ordered it because of the wide metplate. He wants to hunt with his Taurus raging hunter.
Forum: Cast Boolits
With the shape of the nose there won’t be anything to crimp to from what I’m seeing. I guess I’ll have to test it out when he gets the mold.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I finally found a thread on another forum about running 38 special cases. A lot of mixed reviews but the main issue people seem to have is the danger of one of those rounds making its way into a 38...

I usually run a 180gr from an accurate mold I had hollowpointed. I love that design. I told him to just use the same mold I got but he went with a 200gr. Once it gets here I’ll have to take...

I have a friend that ordered a 200gr mold. He was hoping to use it in his revolver. He hasn’t gotten it yet but when he showed me the mold he got from accurate it says nose too long for most 357...

That is gorgeous. I absolutely love my 358 win but I built an ar-10. Such an amazing round for anything I could ever need. Beautiful build

I have about 10 of their 5lb bars I have melted down into 1lb bars. I keep them on hand to raise the hardness of my pot if needed. I have never had a problem getting them to melt down. I stir them...

I use the Lee 6 cavity handles on all my accurate molds. I have a bunch of them now. I’m actually looking at the exact same design you went with for my next mold
Forum: Factory Rifles
I have 2 of them in 308. Well I should say had 2. I gave one to a friend of mine because all he had at the time was an old 7mm magnum. He wanted something with less kick for hunting but couldn’t...
I have a few different accurate molds. I have the 46-325cg, the 46-350a, 46-300r and the 46-525vg. I load the 300 and the 325 for my friends 45-70 from time to time. I mostly use them all in my 458...
I have the .360 mold and they drop at .361. I use a mix of tin and antimony in my lead bringing it up to 12 bnh for all my casting unless I’m casting rifle rounds. Then I bump it up to 16bnh. I...

I got my accurate mold back from hollow point molds. I love this one. It’s a .358 185gr mold with 2 of the cavities hollow pointed

I bought 3 guns in the last 2 months in Florida and mine took less than 10 minutes. 2 of them only took a few minutes and I was out the door
