Seems that our lead supplies are getting harder and harder to access these days.
Maybe one way of dealing with all this is to try " Lead Savers ".
This mold allows me to shoot my 38/357 revolvers and save some alloy each time the trigger is pulled.
It is the Lyman 358345, I call it the " Mini - Keith ". These bullets weigh 115 grs.
The 345' has deeper lube grooves than the Lee 105 SWC and out of my revolvers the 358345 offers improved accuracy over the Lee bullet.
If you shoot a steady diet of these , obviously you'll need to make some rear sight corrections as this bullet will shoot low compared to the standard 158 gr. lead load.
I don't see too many of these for sale. Nice mould !
Is it just me , or does this bullet remind you a bit of the 452460 ?
Ben
The bullets drop from the mould at .359, nice and round. Just about perfect for sizing to .358".
Do you think these are tight fitting mould blocks ?
These have Ben's Red in the bottom lube groove, then they are rolled in BLL and are now dry and ready to load. I lightly crimp in the empty top lube groove in both .38 Spec. and 357 Mag. cases.
