I've been playing with HP cast bullets lately. I have had a lot of success on small game with cast hollow-point bullets in .32 caliber and want to find a .38 caliber SWC-HP mould soon. �

Me too. Including moose and wild boar.

Around 1955 or so, I had Lyman cherry a set of hollow-point blocks for the 357446 SWC (IIRC), to bring that 158-grain spin-off of the Keith .358 SWC to about 148 grains. It proved to be very accurate.

For heavier hollow-point .358 bullets, I used Elmer's original hollow-point version of his scaled-down .44 bullet, a standard offering from Lyman at the time. Accurate and deadly.


"Good enough" isn't.

Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.
