I own a factory Lyman 358318 HP that I bought , and / or traded K Hornet out of MANY years ago.
The bullet is super accurate out of my many .35 cal. rifles.
The problem for me is the HP pin is so long that it makes for a " flying bomb". I'm giving some thought to shortening the HP pin.
My cousin and I were hunting a few years ago and he ( using a 358 Win) shot a nice buck in the front shoulder and the 358318 HP bullet angled and came out the neck.
It literally decapitated the deer. The bullet is VERY explosive as it is today.
Here is a photo of the bullet mould. After you've looked at the photos, share your thoughts please.
I think you can see my concerns below:
The possibilities for me are " A, B , C "
