    In the words of the USMC DI Love life . Try stuff if it doesn't work you've still learned from it that it doesn't work in that particular example.

    38/357 ss92 Rossi ran 38s like water through a hose from WC to 358-158 RF Lee . Even after the lap and polish everything in a 357 case was fidgety to just plain wouldn't feed .
    1894C Marlin JM as long as it was a nose out 38 WC and short enough to ride the elevator it would feed like water .

    To keep it basic… Any alloy that shoots well in 300 BLK will shoot well in .30/30 at equivalent velocities.

    for max velocity in 357 mag both rifle and pistol ive had good results with clip on wheel weights with a little bit of tin added in Lyman mold 358156, gas check and lube sized to .360 with carnauba red lube. I have an older ideal stamped mold that cast right about at .360 with the alloy ive used so it works out great.
