What Mold for .38/.357

Cast Boolits - Dedicated To The World Of Cast Bullets!

First the Criteria, Prefer a 2 cavity.
Revolvers: 4-5/8" OM Flat Top Blackhawk .357 and 4" SW Mod. 15 38sp.
Use: Mostly silhouette 50 - 100yds., Maybe a Coyote to 75yds.
What would be the best design and who to order from ?
Maybe a 158 Keith ?
Looks like a good Boolit, how does it shoot ?
Will the PB hold up to say 1150 FPS
Also can that had with a HP option ?

You are kidding! Right?

That bullet will handle 1800 fps easily.

I load a half dozen plain base .357 bullets to that velocity in my rifles regularly.

First reload: .22 Hornet. 1956.

Where is John Galt?

I LOVE this boolit from Miha. Double crimp groove for the short cylinders to boot. It's currently available from his web site:

I am kinda partial to the 358477 -- or more precisely, NOE's 360477 clone of it. 150gr is a perfect weight for 38/357. Best shooting bullet I have found for this caliber.

I don't know if NOE has any in stock or not. I am pretty sure Accurate has a close clone of this as well. If not, Tom could probably whip up a pretty close approximation.
