Which mold for my fist in 38 cal.
Posted: 30 Nov 2013 16:34
I have been using cast bullets in .357 swc from Lucky 13. I use them in a S&W 686 and a Rossi twenty inch model 92. They have been chambering in both 38's and 357 in the Rossi.
I was happy that both would chamber since many folks have trouble with one of the two.
I am not sure how good the accuracy is with these bullets in the Rossi. I am still working with the sights and trigger.
The load has been 7.8gr of Herco under the 158 gr bullets for .357 and 4.7gr of Herco in the 38s.
My question is -- I am considering trying to cast my own and I do not have a clue what mold to buy. I just do informal target shooting but I would like the bullets to be adequate for defense of the homestead. I realize that there maybe a lot of choices but bring them on.
It has been suggest that I try a Lee 158 rf mold. I wonder if a rf bullet will chamber in the Rossi?
thanks
