    Hunting with 358429

    I just recently acquired a Lyman 358429. It seems to be super accurate in both 357 and 38 special loads. i've been able to get it into the 1300-1400 fps range with no leading (16:1 lead w/SPG lube). Who has actually used this to deer hunt and if so how did it work?

    I have been using it in my 357 max carbine for years and have pushed that 358429 to almost 1400 fps with no leading problems using classic alox tumble lube. I did dial it back to 1320-30 to lessen a recoil vibration that loosened sights in that very light rifle. I hunt deer with a muzzleloader but do carry the 357 max carbine while mountain biking as a light bear rifle for bears under 250# at ranges under 60 yards. Accuracy with that boolit is excellent.

    Just purchased that same mold but haven't tried it yet in anything. Should be a killer if 150's will do the job. my 2-pennies -06

    I have been killing deer, black bear, and hogs with it for 40 years. It works.
