[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3097835, member: 41653"] Yeah, I've got an old Ideal (pre-Lyman) 358495 4-cavity. Button nose square base 145gr wadcutter. I'm thinking of getting a Lee 6-cav for the tumble-lube wadcutters, just because it's a 6-cav. And, tumble lubing is so easy. Love the 4-cav Ideal, it makes 'em quick. I load them in .357Mag brass somewhat hotter too, makes for a thumper at 1000fps. However, when I do get a box of the Hornady hollow base, I like to load them in the wadcutter brass. I probably don't shoot well enough to notice a difference, but it makes me feel better. Too, the factory loaded them in special brass for a reason. Back in the day, Rem and Win would load tens of thousands of the wadcutters for competition. They wouldn't have bothered with WC brass for no reason. The thinner brass lets the bullet slide in without distortion of either the brass or the bullet. The very light powder charge makes the slightly thinner walls of the brass a non-issue. [/QUOTE]
