    Loading hardcast bullets with gas check

    Just got some 180 gr hardcast bullets with gas check for 357 Mag from Rim Rock. Do I use lead or jacketed loading data from my Lyman reloading manual? Thanks.

    Use Lead data, Jacketed bullets take more powder to push thru the barrel.

    But with the hard cast with GC you could push them to max load with out leading if the fit is good, .001-.002 over bore size

      Use lead data and make sure of the fit and lube.
