Anyone have experience to share in casting and loading this Arsenal number for .38 Special?
Anyone have experience to share in casting and loading this Arsenal number for .38 Special?
Ive got a mold made by ranch dog with the micro grooves, but intended for 35 remmington. It has a long nose, i was loading it in 357s and had to trim the brass back to get it to feed in a henry. Not as short as 38s.
I can send you 20 or so if you like...sized to .358 and powdercoated, or as cast. It is a checked design, I dont have any checks for it.
Load data for heavy 38 was posted here a while back...that was the data I played with. But I was getting a few that would keyhole now and then...
Thanks Misery.
I have a few rifle bullet moulds myself that are intended for the 35 Remington. Some of their bullets shoot well in the 38, some don't. I appreciate your offer to send samples. Will keep that mind. The Arsenal mould appeals to me because it has a short nose and long body.
