My friend Steve wanted to try some of the NOE 358160 Plain base bullets in his Rossi, 357 Mag. lever action rifle.
He loaded them in 38 Spec. cases. He used 11.0 grs. of 2400.
He shot this group with my bullets at 100 yards with factory sights.
Not bad UUhhhh ?
I have a 2 cav. aluminum NOE mold that drops these bullets at .360 " with ACWW's and is very consistent in weight from cavity to cavity. This is a mold that is certainly very easy to use, the mold has about a 3% - 4% rejection rate..
This mold has a deeper lube groove than the Lyman 358156. It certainly doesn't seem to harm it in the accuracy dept.
