Ed,
Thanks, but I'm very fortunate that the 2 OLD Lyman 4cav molds cast a bullet that works in each Revolver. Just a fluke, one powder charge, 2 different bullets. The M-10 shoots the #358477 very well. My old K-38 likes the 150gr #358477 too.
That leaves the #359429 for the O.P.
I haven't cast a WC in 35+ years. Every since I discovered I just couldn't cast a WC that was more accurate then a Hornady swaged WC. Used my stash of once-fired W-W wadcutter cases. Stole 6 boxes of brass cases from my DAD'S stash when he wasn't looking.
Tried "half" sizing in a steel die, minimum flare, just enough crimp to close the case mouth.
Weighed every bullet, every single one matched perfect. Cast 20/1
And in those days the LAPD Harbor Range was open to the Public. Solid bench, 25yrds & semi-enclosed with no wind. Wish I was a target saver.
Groups with the swaged were always smaller with swaged, cast lost every time.
Now I don't have the ability to shoot even remotely that well. I'm just happy to keep all my shots in the black at 50ft.
Long time Caster/Reloader, Getting back into it after almost 10yrs. Life Member NRA 40+yrs, Life S.A.S.S. #375. Does this mean a description of me as a fumble-fingered knuckle-draggin' baboon. I also drool in my sleep. I firmly believe that true happiness is a warm gun. Did I mention how much I HATE auto-correct on this blasted tablet.
