I lubed the remaining 150 or so bullets last night so I can try that 11.0 grain charge of 2400 and maybe try some W231 or some Universal also. I could try some Bullseye too, but just to see if SOMETHING will work.
I'll slug the bore tonight and see about that groove diameter. I guess I may end up sending the cylinder off to have the throats opened up, then look for a .359" mold...I've never tried modifying a mold, but maybe that's an option if the groove diameter is greater than the current throat diameter. On second thought, I think I'd rather modify the mold than the gun. Maybe I'll get off my dead ass and cast some 358156s before screwing with anything else.
Incidentally, I checked the bore for leading and it looks clean as a whistle other than powder fouling.
I appreciate all the comments and suggestions!
