Cast up a bit of this and that.
Lyman 358156. Comes out about 161 grain once I get the gas checks on. i haven't tried them yet in my 357, but supposedly these are the bees knees. Two-cav mold seems slow.
Lyman 358495. 141 grain button-nose wadcutters, they drop at 147g. Ever since SWMBO graduated from the .22 pistol to the .38s, I burn thru these. Casting from a 4-cav mold, wish it was 6-cav.
Lee TL358-158-2R. A tumble-lube, round-nose 158g for the 38s and milder 357 loads. They drop about 161g with my mix, right at .359". Six-cav mold, these pile up quick ! Empties the pot fast too.
Tumble-lube and shoot. I'm using 45-45-10, or, here lately, Ben's Liquid Lube (BLL) - at least a version of it. It's working fine.
Still a good bit of work to do. Obviously, I need to cull - then load and shoot.
Then repeat.
....someone has to do it....
