358156 has to be my favorite mold for my 38s. Shoots nice out of everything
I was always impressed with the versatility, by design or coincidence, that allowed Skeeter and others to make 357 mag rounds using 38 Spl cases and seating the 357156 bullet out one groove higher. I seldom used gas checks with mine and wondered about having the shoulder reamed out or later having one of the boutique makers make one to order w/o the GC groove.
