I've owned 2 of these, neither shot very well for me.
Of course, I have 3 or 4 different pistols now that I didn't have 6-7 yrs. ago when I was shooting the 358429.
KHornet has had good luck with the 429', so I decided to try it one more time.
( Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment ? ? Who knows, I'll find out )
A few days ago, I found a nice clean , 2 cav., 358429 that the owner said dropped its bullets at .360". He offered to ship the mould for $45. It appeared near new, I thought the mould was worth his asking price.
I've become leary of buying any new Lyman mold.
I've cast with my new 429' mold, the owner was right, it drops for me at .3602" nice and round.
Now to size some to .358" , lube with Ben's Red and BLL and shoot some in my T/C Contender Hvy barrel , 12", 357 Mag.
We'll see how they perform ? ?
