Lyman 358315, 2 cav., G/C

[Ben]

This one arrived over the weekend.
Any opinions.
I have several 358 Win. rifles along with a Ruger # 1, 357 Maximum.

Its a proven good preformer in the 35 Remington it was designed for. I have two molds a single and dbl like yours.
I lean to the RCBS FP as I prefer a FO design for hunting. (Nearly Everything revolves around hunting use for me.)

Last ones I short where sized down to .356 and shot thru the Legend. They shot very well.

Have heard nothing but good things from it and the rcbs 35-200 fn. Don't think you can go wrong.... What's your thoughts on the noe/rd 35-230? I'm using it in a 35 rem. Might be as good in 358win. Thanks!

I have a couple of them, 1 has a square groove ,1 with a round 1 .
I need to work with them both a bit in my 336 marlin 35 rem.----but the dang cheep 200 gr. lee shoots so good I have not done much else with it.
but they both make very nice lookin bullets.
need to try them in the max too!

It's a good mould. The lack of a FN limits it for me to other than hunting uses, but it shoots good in anything 35 cal I've tried it in.

I got outside and cast with the 358315 today.
Makes some fine bullets.
They mike 3595 X 3600 ".

With my air cooled WW's, sized, lubed, gas checked, ready to load, here is the weight :

I have had good results with the Saeco 352 @ 245 gr in the 35 rem and 358. Not much data out there but they are shooters.

Very fine looking bullets, Ben!
Good luck with your shooting!

 

[Ben]

Thanks, I'm looking forward to trying these out.

In 35 Remington, mine shoots very good. I have also found it is not too picky about powder or charge amounts. I use the Lee 200 flat nose for hunting so I don't cast many these any more and was thinking of sending to Eric for a shallow cup point conversion. Having a hard time making up my mind.

Eric has done several moulds for me.
He is excellent.

Cast up about 50 out of a single cavity for the old man's 357 Max. This was for a T/C Contender, so OAL can be different than for a revolver. I see 35 Rem barrels for the Contender, makes me fidgit....

Nice bullets Ben. There was the same mold on flea bay and I was the only bidder. It arrived yesterday and I’ll give it a whirl when I cast later today.

I have only a single 35cal rifle, so far, but I’m looking into getting a bolt gun soon in 358win.
