Unbelievable generosity

[fiver]

red-dot has been the acceptable solution since like 1905 you'll be fine.
you can always use some of that unique stuff and zip them along a bit faster too, they don't mind and the recoil is still next to nuthin.
the lyman version [358091] likes to go fast,, even when powder coated.
so don't be shy with the powder.

I am down to 2-3 pounds of Promo but have an unopened 8 of Red Dot.
I have about 8 pounds of Unique. A fair bit of HP38 too.

Powder poor I am not....

Except no Bullesye

38 will work just fine too.
4-4.2grs under a 158 swc in 357 cases or a 125gr rnfp in 38 cases has proven to be real accurate in several guns.
I use them both to pop squirrels off the trees, or to head shoot grouse with the Dan Wesson.

Except no Bullesye

Says Mr No 9mm

 

[fiver]

bulls-eye works great in the 9mm... jus sayin.

 

[Ian]

Touche', Brad, Touche'.

Well! Bully for you!

Awesome! Now you have a real H&G and the definitive, button-nose wadcutter. Your workup is 2.7 to 2.9 grains of Bullseye seated in a .38 case and crimped in the crimp groove. Have fun!

Wasn't me, but I have one. Haven't cast with it yet. But, now I know where to start when I do!

Says Mr No 9mm

I'm right there with both of ya's . . . No bullseye and no 9mm.

 

[RBHarter]

9mm WC Unique though in hind sight Red Dot would have been a better choice .

 

[Winelover]

I have Bullseye, Reddot and plenty of 9 mm's. I'll take Bullseye over Reddot, every time.

My wife shoots a 9mm..........

 

[Winelover]

My wife will shoot just about everything I have. Draws the line at shooting 12 gauge rifle slugs.

 

[Rick]

My wife shoots a 9mm..........

Sure, it's a fine women's and kids cartridge.

 

[Winelover]

Sure, it's a fine women's and kids cartridge.

I think you mean't to say 22 LR.

 

[Rick]

I did? Na, don't think so. Nope . . . After giving it serious consideration I'm quite sure I didn't mean that.

I have a friend in Texas that I've only met on line, never in person. About a year or so ago Wade sent me a 358429 and a 357446 mould. I got ahold of him and ask what he wanted for them, I needed to send something. He said "I am a Lakota Sioux, we believe that if we have two of something and our brother has none by night we each have one."
Yes there are still great people out there!

 

[fiver]

my wife shoots a 30-06.
so by that thinking we all should be shooting a 405 win. for deer hunting.

I'm going against the grain of most of ya'll, My best cast wadcutter powder is Unique 3.3 to 3.5. My second choice is HP-38, 3.4 grains. I shoot a lot of Bullseye just not in wadcutter loads. I never got the accuracy I got from the other two. Now on my hollow base the Bullseye and Red Dot excels. If anyone has Tight Group for cast, I have found 2.9/3.0 is very accurate but a little more (blasty) if that is actually a word.
Such a good person to send you a mold, I am lucky to have a shooting buddy that is exactly the same way, you have to be careful what you say in front of him, whatever you said will just show up in your truck seat one day.

This is going back into Antiquity, mind you........before their was Air.........when Dirt was still fresh and in its OEM form. When I was in the business of loading 38 Special wadcutters, 2.7 grains of Bullseye was THE LOAD. 3.0 grains of WW-231/HP-38 matched the Bullseye load's performance, and 2.8 grains of Red Dot ran right with both of those. With the hollow-based 148 grain bullets you didn't want to exceed those powder amounts by more than about 10%, or run the HBWCs past about 800 FPS--lest you stick skirts in the bores. The solid-based WCs like the 091 and the H&G #50 could be energized further, and I went pretty wide with both of my WC molds (Lymans #313492 and #358432). Both of those designs had a bit of an identity crisis--they are wadcutter moulds that in some past life were SWCs, and #432 may indeed be the love child of a liason between #358429 and #358091. And if #492 isn't #445 with a nose job, then the Pope is from Arkadelphia.
