Hello guys anyone have this bullet and use it??
It sure looks like a decent pill curious if it shoots well before I invest in one.
Curious in 38/357 loads for the wife and son low recoil decent shooting.
As usual any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

As Ben has already said, a great bullet. I use it shooting "Bullseye" in a S&W 15 with an ultra dot and several people use it in model 14's with an ultra dot. My load is 4.1 grains of HP-38, with med crimp. Same sight hold at 25 and 50 yards. I used to use a 148 DEWC and the recoil savings is huge on the rapid fire stage.

Well I took the plunge and ordered one from our good buddy Bezo’s.
I like their return policy if it is a turd and does not cast properly I can just return it.
This has saved me from having to keep a couple “bum” molds in the past.

Casting hot has very different meanings to different people.

My pot stays at 700. Always. Casting hot, to me, means a faster cadence to get, and keep the mould hot enough. Adding heat to the melt doesn’t do it if you run too slow. Bottom pour makes it even harder unless you don’t mind a puddle under the mould. With a ladle I just pour extra melt over the mould and let if run back into the pot.

Dont think of it as adding lead to the mould, think of it as adding heat

I have and like that bullet in 9mm &.380. It also fairly well in 38 special with lite loads, but I have trouble speed loaders and moon clips ( may be me) grandchildren love shooting it. It is almost feels like shooting a k-22
