Another question (which maybe should have it's own post): Anyone have a subsonic BC for the immense 358627 SWC? I bought some of those and they shoot pretty well at 25 yards.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I'm being pretty gentle on these right now, so subsonic is OK! Someone helped me out with a Quickload calculation that says putting these in .38 brass over 6.1 or 6.5 grains of Longshot would give...

I wanted to put my chrono data into a ballistic calculator for my revo handloads to see what the trajectory looks like. Is 0.286 the accepted number for G1, before I put a huge amount of faith in...

My goal here is to work up a mild .44 Magnum round for plinking (maybe literally in IHMSA Field Pistol) at up to 100 yards. Plan is to use a .44 Mag case and 240 grain RNFP bullet seated to .44...

I have a couple hundred 215 grain 358627s on hand. Powders I have in abundance are WSF, PowerPistol, Blue Dot and Longshot. Load data for a bullet like this in .38 or .357 revolver cartridges are...

Sorry for a question that's doubtless been asked seventy gazillion times. A few years ago (between ammo panics) I bought* some 429421 and 429667 cast boolits. My notes are imperfect, but I think I...

Anyone tried the Lee 9mm 105 grain SWC (or anything like it) in the 9 mm Browning Short, better known as .380 ACP?

I also used light .38 loads when my spousal critter first agreed to go to the range with me a few years ago. Got some 75 gr .358 wadcutters from Matt's Bullets and loaded them with 3 grains or so of...

Thanks, good to know that someone has been down the exact road before.

I have a Rossi 92 .357 lever gun with 24" octagonal barrel (I'd prefer a shorter round barrel model, but that was what I could find). Want to make a low-velocity, quiet round for it for discrete...

Just to muddy the waters: if you feel the need to shoot your beasts from dead astern, there is the Lyman 358627 GC 215 gr SWC. Should penetrate rather persistently! I purchased a bag of these from...

Which rifle FCD works with the .357 case? I understand that the .44-40 fits .44 Mags with a little work, but I can't see a match for .357, except .35 Rem and an extended case holder?
