Lee 6 Cavity, 38/357, 105 SWC

[Ben]

My Ruger Sp 101 will hopefully like these.
With a 6 cavity, you can make a pile of A grade bullets very quickly.
These drop nice and round at .3585".
Just about a perfect dia. for my use.
Oh,......... I think I also need to mention , low recoil, and a real lead saver ! !

That’s a great looking pile of bullets Ben!
Those six cavity molds sure do crank em out fast.
I have that same mold but have been to busy to warm it up.

I am staying tuned for a shooting report!

 

[Ben]

Deal ! !

SP-101s rank high on my "likability scale". Many will disagree with me, but I much prefer them to the small-frame Smith & Wesson revolvers. As a bonus, you can actually feed the Ruger a steady diet of hot .357 Magnum without tearing it up.

Yep, I never worry about shooting mag loads in my GP100. It will handle as many as I can.
After the number of rounds I have put thru mine the trigger is smooth and light and I know it like the back of my hand.

What kind of load are you planning Ben? I see 2.5-3 gr of Bullseye?

 

[Ben]

A lot of shooters use 3.0 - 3.5 grs. of B'Eye in 38 Spec. cases.
That is about the area that I'll start out in.

Ian you are so right!
I would not part with my sp101 for all the tea in china!
Have have shot mine a ton and it is still tight as if it were new.
38 special wadcutter to 180 grain full house loads and boy let me tell you those 180’s are a handful

I've been thinking of getting that same mold, for use in the wife's ruger lcr.
She says the 148 gr. Are fine, but I don't even like shooting that potato chip light weight peice with them.
By the way Ben, has that got the 4.2 inch barrel? It just looks shorter in the top pic.

 

[Ben]

Yes, mine is the 4.2 ".
