I bought a 358495 in 2008 from the late Joe Wiest.
Cast up a couple hundred the day the mold arrived bagged and labeled them, been sitting in the cabinet till today.
The only thing I have to shoot them in is a Win 94 in .357
So I loaded up 50 with a healthy dose of WC 820 , seated them in the top lube groove and gave them a nice taper crimp.
Lubed them with Glen Fryxell's lube, the best plain base bullet lube I have ever used.
And for grins I checked the hardness with the LBT, they tested right at 12 BHN, AC WW cast in 2008.
I ran four thru the action to see if they would feed from the magazine and they feed just fine.
Next decent day I will give them a try.
