Lee 105 gr cast/38 special

[ruffbird]

Hi folks,....

I was wondering if any of you have been shooting these 105 gr SWC bullets & how you like them? It would make a nice paper cutter & might be a nice bullet for small game with light charges of fast powders in my marlin. This one sure looks like it would UP the fun factor!

I may have to get a 6 cavity Lee mold for this one.

Thanks for your ideas & experiences....

I like mine, though it's the 2 cavity one. Works good big booming 357 loads (powder coated). Also decent in 9mm, but with a 2 cavity it's slow casting.

Thanks for responding...

After watching a couple of videos on Youtube by FortuneCookie this light bullet will save on the lead supply, shoot like a .22 & may be fantastic for rabbit hunting. Should be good for killing tin cans too. Heck, will even be able to load these in .357 mag brass & should be able to cycle in my rifle.

Oh,....& I did order that 6 cavity mold. I'm excited!

I played with them for a while and found it to be an accurate bullet with my PPC load of clays in the .38 special, worked ok in my Sig 9mm once I got the seating depth worked out.

But then someone gave me several cases of commercial 158 SWC so I haven't shot any since. Maybe this week I'll cast and powder coat some for my .357.
