Ideal 358416

[CWLONGSHOT]

This is another one that came in this batch. Its said to be a 38Colt bullet.

Mine is closer to 150 then the 155 its supposed to be or the 158 others say it is. (My first alloy dropped them 150.5g avg and the 275 ish I cast today average 253g.



Its gotta be a early mold. No air vents! But it casts beautifully.



I coated them in matte Black.

I haven't sized them yet but they drop .358/.359 ish.

Its a nice casting mold.

Got that one too CW, my favorite in my cimarron lightning 38

I have a 4-cavity version of that one, with some unfortunate damage. Not my ideal bullet, but it works well in lever guns and pin-shooting with revolvers (a speedloader seems to almost guide itself when reloading).

#358416 was a post-Ideal bullet for the 38 Colt Special of 1928+. Designed to be 150 grains from #2 alloy and good for smokeless powder. Harder hitting the the 38 Special S&W designs of the times.
