I don't see any reason it couldn't be used for .358 Win, though you might want the gas check version for that application. Luckily we have both GC and PB options on this. Did you want the GC, PB, or one cavity each way?

I want the plain base . I plan to use this in 38 sp, 357, 358 as a low vel (1100 - 1200 ft/sec) plinker . don't plan to push it in anything. Dave
Contender from the Ruger Forum has committed to a 3 cavity 3PB mold. He isn't a member here, so I'm posting for him. That means we just need one more mold to get going.

My money's burning a hole in my pocket--give us the go-ahead, Swede! Gentlemen, start your engines!
Thanks, Landric!

Thanks for all your work on this one.

The expectation of evil is more bitter than the suffering -OR-
More people die from worrying about getting ate by a bear then get ate by a bear.
Al:
I would like to request that the HP pin on the single cavity HP moulds match the size you made on your 358429 HP moulds. We can always grind one smaller if needed .

Swede-
I am #4 in the order list for this boolit mold-
Please amend my mold order to be as follows:
4cavity, with 2cavity PB, 2cavity GC, with the HP on a GC cavity
Hopefully this is not too confusing- I hope?
THANKS

Landric,
I just now saw this reply you posted in January. I need to visit the forum more often, ha ha. OK, you have me about halfway sold on this boolit. Now to the nitty gritty. The S&W revolvers have a one in 18.5" twist, IIRC. Pretty slow for a long boolit like this. Are your Lyman 358430s accurate out to 50 yards or more from your S&W revolver?
Hardcast,
I haven't done any longer range shooting with the 358430, as I primarily use it for IDPA where the huge majority of shots are 15 yards or less. It has displayed excellent accuracy at those ranges in .38 Special mild loads (650-700 fps) all the way to reasonably hot magnums (1150+ fps). I suspect one would see the same thing at longer ranges, especially with magnum loads.
Louisiana Man, who has done some extensive testing with 200 grain boolits in both .38 Special and .38 S&W might be able to answer some questions about longer range performance. He has several posts on this thread.
