.358 105 Grain Wad Cutter - Interested?

[45 2.1]

Would you suggest a .358 or .359 diameter? I have used both without problems.John

Spec'd at 0.359", we would get that or 0.358" in all probability from LEE.

Nothing says a guy has to shoot them one at a time either

I hear ya pal! I've played around with stacking two of those 82 gr pills in a .357 case as a short range defense load but haven't been able to get much dispersion even at 25 yds. Another angle I've thought of is one of these tuna cans with a charge of #8 shot in front as a snake load....

FWIW,

I'd be interested in the upper left design.
It looks like the Saeco 348.

The two on the right have worked well for me in .38 Special.
Lyman 358101 (right) is 75 grain and Lyman 358425 (second from right) is 110 grain. The little 358101 is great around here for shooting rats out of palm trees.

Heres your boolit

Has It Died?

Dunno 452.1, but if my gun would shoot it, it would be a blast. Just a little bullseye and PoP goes the frog (or squirrel). I would like a nice light load for play. this would do it. In otherwords I'm in!

How many guys does it take to make the idea feasible?
(I'm kinda new here and haven't gotten in on a custom mould before....)

25 would be the first hurdle, ain't looking good is it?

Not especially...

Guess I'll have to stick with my 82 gr Lee for the time being,

I am still willing to honcho the deal. As 357maximum said, it would be great to get at least 25 molds so that Lee would waive the $100 setup fee.

There are 7 definites and 4 maybe's in the thread. If all 11 folks purchased a mold, we could still do the deal but it would be about an extra $9 per mold to cover the setup fee. To me it would be worth the extra $9 to get the mold, but I don't know what everyone else would like to do.

From other posts, the price per mold shipped would be $58 if we get 25 orders or $67 with 11 people. Any orders over 11 would reduce the $67 price a little.

The way I look at a mold like this is that after casting about 2000 bullets it's paid for itself since the retail price of the bullets is about $32/1000 (and going up). It doesn't take very long to get there with the casting rate of a 6 cavity mold!

Let me know what you want to do...

Thanks,
John

I'd be in at $67.00.

At $67 I am in for 1.....at $58 I would probably go for 2

Thanks, Dale

[357maximum]

67 ain't all that bad, I would rather it be the 58, but even at 67 I am in as long as the upper left boolit is the decided one. 9 bucks ain't gonna hold me back.......

Let it run until 25 or better, if it gets stuck before then, then you can introduce the higher option.

[Catshooter]

This is a good idea. I'll take one for sure.

What about asking for .360 so we'd have room for some with guns with the larger bores? Lee'd probably give us either .360 or .359 then.

............. I would like to see the slug drop no smaller then .359".

I'm in & I'll pay the extra tariff & smile.

[CSH]

I would kick in a few $ extra for this design, but I also would want it spec'ed to drop no smaller than 0.359". 0.360" would be even better.

[krag35]

My present 38 shoots .358's pretty good, but most of the others I have had prefer .360". I'm still in on a .358", but would prefer .360"
