I have been working with two cast bullets for the .357 that are very interesting designs – the NOE 360 180 GC-FP, and a 200 grain GC-FP from Mountain Molds. I was looking for cast bullet designs that had enough weight and meplat to be useful hunting bullets, a short enough nose to fit comfortably in the S&W N-frame cylinder, an ogive that would cycle smoothly in a Marlin 1894 levergun, and a GC for the .357 Maximum and Marlin levergun velocities. Both of these bullets are proving to be exactly what I was looking for. I’m still working up loads, but the general overview is that for the 180s, velocities are running about 1200+ fps from the .357 Mag revolvers, and close to 1600 fps from the Marlin levergun; with the 200s, I am seeing 1150-1200 fps from the revolvers and 1400-1500 fps with the levergun. I am very pleased with both of these bullet moulds (sizing these .357” for the sixguns, and .359” for the Marlin).
