[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3066568, member: 41653"] Got some of these ready - about 300 of the 358156 [ATTACH=full]111508[/ATTACH] This is the mold designed for 38 or 357, it has two crimp grooves. This makes it possible to load 357-level loads into 38Spl brass - just crimp in the lower groove, with more of the bullet sticking out. Hopefully, this makes it too long to chamber in 38Spl. This mold was designed back when 357 Mag brass was harder to find. Now, with Starline Brass making 357 brass by the truckload, it doesn't make as much sense to load that way, but I'm going to try it anyway. I tumble-lubed in BLL, just to get some lube on them to go thru the sizer. Ran them thru a NOE push-thru sizer (.359) just to seat the check. Aluminum checks, from a now-defunct maker. I am having about 10% rejects on the checks, which is probably why the maker is defunct. Then , on to the old Lyman 45 luber/sizer. Sized to .358, and lubed with TAC-X (or is it TAC ? I can't ever remember what it was I purchased, and I was too busy to mark it.) TAC-X is for warmer weather... I have maybe 30-40 checks remaining. I'll try these with just tumble-lube too, see how it goes. I'll load up some honkin' loads, and try it in wifes' single-shot. [/QUOTE]
