I found a good deal on 1000 SWC cast bullets, manufactured by MSB Bullet Co, Fleetwood, NY (cannot find a reference). The carton states 156 gr weight; however, upon opening and checking, the average weight is 166 gr. The carton states .358 dia; I'm measuring .359. Bullet length is .721". Labels on the carton state "Linotype metal" and "Alox and dry lube". The bullets are noticeably sticky to the touch.
What do I have? Does the diameter and stickiness matter in mid-range loading them for my Pythons in .357 brass? Is there a way to remove the stickiness?
I have no in-house way to resize these, if that even matters. It seems to me that the stickiness would hold dirt, etc., which seems to be a disadvantage.
I appreciate any advice you can share.
