How did these work out? Looks like a bullet I would like to try if it shows any potential.Maximumbob54 wrote:I just cast some of those Lee 358-158-RF, got them coated, and will be loading some tomorrow. I very much dislike the fact that they are bevel based (really wish I had noticed that before I bought it) but I bought it a while back because I wanted something easier to load that didn't have the SWC's edge. I have a few pounds of unknown but harder alloy that I figured I would try several different magnum loadings and see if there is any accuracy involved. They will all be through my 16" R92 so that should give plenty of velocity. I know I want that NOE RD mold but jeeze have I dumped a lot of money into this hobby lately.

PM received, bullets packaged. I'll get them in the mail this afternoon or tomorrow.
Remember, it's my first try at casting and making lube so ....

Now I remember where I read it was discontinued. The inventor of Ben's lube posted Johnson's told him so in an email.GasGuzzler wrote:Some retailers stopped selling it [Johnson's liquid floor wax]. Must be why the rumor started elsewhere.

Thanks, I missed that on page one. No problem, just corrected it. Lifetime supply enroute.

I bought all Home Depot had a while back. Still have two full ones. HD has none since.

I wish I would have bought more back then.
eBay has none and its $14+ per on Amazon.

Re: Rethinking my 357 Mag as a hog rifle?
Boy, you have me wondering now about my 92 in 357 for the same purpose. I realize this post is a year of so old but I just read it since I was looking for some .357 V Hog real world info. I have loaded up some 158gr LSWC with 18gr of LilGun which should produce around 1900 FPS for 1200FPE at the barrel of my 20" tube. I hunt in the same proximity as you do; just NE of Waco on another's Retired Vets land...that is when he allows me and he's not traveling. Never got around to getting my own acreage for hunting; one of my big regrets in life; anyway, I think I will take my Rossi Wizard in 270 just in case. Thanks for the info
