Re: plain base bullets in .38/357 rifles?

I only have one mold that takes gas checks for any of my revolver cartridge lever guns and revolvers.
the lone user of them is my 445 super mag.

in the 20" carbine 357 rossi I use a 358 diameter 158gr lyman rnfp mold on top of 7grs of herco.
I have no idea how fast it's going but it responds to a click on the ramp sight to 3"s at 100 yds.
I don't shoot bench rest with my lever guns but I can smoke coke cans at 100 yds and play shoot the 3/4" dot at 25 yds. game at the club quite frequently with the little rifle.
I do a little better with my heavier 24" rifles but I have taken the prize money home on enough occasions with the little rifle I don't think twice about taking it.
its also great for shooting the lever gun silhouette matches especially when one of the kids wants to go.
it will easily tip over the 100yd rams but doesn't knock them around wearing them out throughout the 40 round match.
