.357 cast bullets for R-92

Post by 4kdave »

I don't want to get into casting my own but can't decide what to by ie. mfg.,rn or wc, 100 or 250-300 etc.

I'm an "Old guy" and will just be punching holes. I have some 2400 powder and brass and am waiting on my Dies.

Thanks for any suggestions
Dave

I am a fan of http://www.missouribullet.com/news.php R.D. sight owner and the boss has a deal with a company that is casting some of his awesome bullet designs as well so you can order them already made as well. Once I need more I am wanting to get some heavyweight .357 mag in his design I do not cast I just buy them sized to what I need so I can load and shot them. Our very own RD bullets his design being cast by them so cool.

If you have powder combos and such to use with certain bulets mainly RD's designs he should be able to help you on max pressures and so on. and aid you in what he has used as well. Every rifle has it's own flavor regardless that they are 92's or Rio Grande so you will have to take your time and dial her in once you get what you want to tune your loads. keep us posted.

Jerry had a stroke about 10 days ago, I'm not sure how long it will be before he is back casting.
