Thanks, I'll call in the morning. I think I might have seen some at Reed's a couple of weeks ago.

Whyte Leather Works in San Jose has Snakebite 158 RNFP. They're designed for BlackPowder but work with smokeless, too. You might like his 140gr bullet better.

Old West Gun Room in El Cerrito has them

Thanks. Would you happen to know if they're open on Sundays? I'm not in a panic now, I found some at Reed's and at a reasonable price too
They only had 1k, so they won't last long.

Thanks, but I really want round nose, they load faster.

Thanks for everyone's replies. Since I found some, I have enough time to order more online, assuming a 6 to 8 week backlog at most of the vendors.

If you mean using speedloaders, the snakebite has a profile close to a RNL. I use a round nose seating plug in my RCBS die. If fact they be more pointy than a regular 158 RNL bullet as they're designed with extra length for their weight to feed better in a lever action Rifle chambered in 357mag.

I would give those a try. I'll send him an email, unless you know, if he is willing to sell face to face, instead of by mail. His zip code is the same as my Mom's house.

Mark's a good guy and will do FTF, I think. In my Colt Official Police they just fit in the cylinder, in my S&W Model 10 they have more room. They're designed to feed better in a lever action rifle where the over all length is close to a 357 mag, but in a 38 spl case. I measured a dummy round I have and it came to 1.5280" OAL. They have a big grease groove to carry a lot of lube, if you're loading black powder, but work fine with smokeless powder, too.
