    casting .357, bullets heavy

    i'm new to casting and bought lee 358-158-rf mold. my first 100 or so i loaded a midrange load in 38 special for my #686. all was fine ,bullets looked nice & all went bang. this was a year ago?

    my new recipie is for .357 powder coated which i had to size and am using 6.5 gr. autocomp (only loaded a few as this is listed as a starting load) & spp crimped at the canalure.

    out of curiosity i went to weigh some of the non powdercoated bullets for weight comparison. i found my bullet weight ranged from about 165 to 169 grains. they don't seem out of round or deformed but i got too much lead in there , whats up with that?

    What do you call the people that abandoned the agenda of John Kennedy and adopted the agenda of Lee Oswald?

    weight depends on alloy. You're doing exactly nothing wrong.
