Accurate Brass, 3 cav., 360 , 158 V

[Ben]

I have not cast with this one in over 5 years.
Why, I don't know ? ? ? As it is a great mould.
Super accurate in all the revolvers and rifles that I've ever used it in.

The bullet carry's plenty of lube for use in rifle barrels.

Nice!
I have a MP mould with a similar nose (360-640, I think) that shoots quite well in my .35 Whelen. Have you tried it in your .358 win?

 

[Ben]

No I have not. But I see no reason why ( if the velocity is kept in the sub 1350 - 1400 fps zone ) it would work.

Now that is a good looking bullet.

Brad,

I thought that you'd like it.
I know you are partial to this basic design.

I have a version of that mold made by Arsenal and it casts/shoots very nice!
They share a lot of similar traits.
Here is a link to the design - http://arsenalmolds.com/products?product_id=88&limit=100

Yep, the 158V has the "right stuff". I have one but only the .357s use it because my .38s all hit high with normal weight bullets.

Looks pretty good... If a hp might be perfect!

I have the same mold in a four cavity AL.

I have the original, the RCBS cowboy mold.
I prefer the Lyman version [358665] with it's slightly slimmer profile, or I should say my Lever rifle does at the longer distances.
I think they are all pretty good though, the basic design just works, even the Lee copy does nice work.

I liked the design so well I had Mountain Molds make a .410" 300 grain mould for my 40/50 Sharps Straight. When it hits the plywood target backer, it makes the 2X4 uprights rattle.

Have that same design in an Accurate four cavity iron.




Two of the cavities two cavities are the 158 V and two with 158 VG (gas check).



Casts like a dream. Just the other day, I cast up over 300 with a alloy that is measuring 8 BHN on a LBT tester. Will have to check them again, in a couple of weeks, to see how much harder they will get. Mine are dropping at .360+ in diameter.................that's what I asked for. I size to .360 for my Rossi carbine and .3585 for my revolvers.

That the first iron mould, I had Tom make. Now I'm spoiled.

I found a photo of my MP- bullets that are very similar in shape and weight. I have a 6-cav brass solid PB mould, that is fantastic to cast with.
