.360 " Ranch Dog , 190 gr. G/C

[Ben]

My mould arrived today.
I'm very happy with the mould.
It is an older Lee Group buy.
It cast a nice round bullet at .361"
I'm sizing to .360"
I'll be shooting these out of my JES rebore 98 Mauser , 358 Win.

Look's like new Ben, good looking bullet.

 

[Ben]

This one was sold to me " As new, unused, no box."

I've often thought of giving the NOE version a try in my 357 maxi's.

 

[Ben]

I have a 12" barrel ( Hvy ) , T/C Condenter, 357 Mag.
May have to try some of the 190 Ranch Dogs in that one ? ?

Ben; what alloy you using?

 

[Ben]

Air cooled clip on WW's.

With that mold. It wouldn't take long to make a years worth of bullets.
Except for the length of the nose. That looks a lot like the NOE 359 - 175 sitting next to me that I just got.
Ben where are you finding these jems?

That's the mold I use for my Max except I PP them instead of GC. Shoots inside 1" @100, took a doe last December, one shot destroyed the heart. Funny thing is the gun likes 190's, not so much the 175 mold I have. GW

IIRC, Ranch Dog dipped those in LLA to the groove line, dried them then did it again. I have a two cavity I have never loaded in anything yet.

Need to get back to working with the GC boolits. I lube mine like RD does, except I use 50/50 JPW and LLA, just getting started with the same mix with turps as an overcoat. My first try with PP was such a success that I kinda stayed with it. Ya know, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Just got the A/C in my shop working right so now I have a place to play again. GW
