My wife got me that mold 35 years ago and I really like it.
Most of my shooting was through a 6 inch Model 19.
5 grains of Unique in .38 Special cases makes a fun load for long range steel or white rocks in pasture. 5.5 to 6 grains of Unique in .357 cases make a good general purpose load.
Stouter loads with 2400 are really good but we used less of these in the K frame and usually used 2 grains under maximum.
I used wheel weights for almost all my casting, .358 diameter and never had a leading issue.
its in the mail. the 561 version is almost the same weight with me casting to about 160grains, but it is a gas checked bullet which i was wanting to avoid. i am sure it will be run in some k frames and i have a lot of unique, so your post was on target on all counts. I will size to .358 too. I intend to powder coat them too.
