40sw. Swc??

[Mainiac]

How come i cant find a swc for 40sw,,with lube grooves,,similar to the hg68 shape??
Dont know as if i care for the tc shape...

 

[Mainiac]

I just see where accurate has a 150h,,,that looks awful similar to the 68,,,hmmmm

Try the Lee 145 grain SWC .401. Kinda like a miniature H&G 68. Lee 175/180 truncated cone styles have been very accurate in .38/40, 40S&W, and 10 mm Auto too. RCBS and Lyman have produced .40 cal SWC type bullets that also do well in all three cartridges for me.

 

[RBHarter]

Lots of folks just don't think about the 38-40 being 40 cal because the 44-40 is 44 cal and all of the others that used proper cal in front of the BP charge ..... And this 1 but it's not like the 36&44 cal C&B ....

Anyway ...... Look for 38-40 SWCs with/instead of 40/10 .

Is that 145 a flat base,,or bevel?

 

[CWLONGSHOT]

It is a bevel IIRC.

Here is a pic of a jug of them I have.

 

[Mainiac]

Bummer...
What about the 175tc,,,flat/bevel??

 

[Foo]

Just looked at mold and it appears to be flat base. oops, my mistake . mine is not a TC, mine is a

6 CAV TL401-175SWC​

 

[Rick H]

My Lee 175 TC is beveled.

 

[Mainiac]

I really like this bullet profile LEE

 

[GRMPS]

Like Rick, I got this mold because it comes's in a 6 cavity (and it shots good to )

 

[CWLONGSHOT]

I switched from the 145 to the 175tc because my carbine didnt like the 145 as much. (Feeding. Its pretty short)
