[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3065559, member: 41653"] 358-156, a gas-checked 38/357 bullet. Will weigh 160-161 grains after checking/lubing. [ATTACH=full]111327[/ATTACH] And, 358-477. Straight range-lead, with about 1% tin added. A 150-ish grain , for full-power 38Spl, and mid-range 357. Laid out on a sheet of wax paper to dry, after initial coat tumble-lubing with Ben's Liquid Lube (BLL). I'll size after drying, then re-tumble. Ready to load after that. This is about 300, I cast up 13 pounds, roughly 600 bullets. [ATTACH=full]111328[/ATTACH] These old Ideal molds are both 2-cavity. After using Lee 6-cavs, and NOE 4-cav molds, the old 2-cav sure are slow. However, I don't shoot many of either of these bullets. The 358156 is for full-power 357. I shoot very little of that anymore from the revolvers. SWMBO has a single-shot 357 carbine, I need to work up a load for it. The 358477, well.... most of my 38Spl shooting is either a lead 125g RF (round Flat) or a lead 148g wadcutter. Sometimes it's nice to shoot something different. I cast these just to have on hand when I get the itch. [/QUOTE]
