That LEE 158gr rnfp is a good shooter for me. I do have the LEE 125gr rnfp in a six cavity. They shoot the best from my Carbine.
And when i say best... Thats what I mean.
That boolit ahead of 5 gr of Herco in 38 special case. Is a perfect match for that 1-30 twist rifle.
This is ten shots at 100 yards. ( Using a scope)
I keep this image because I may never match that again.
Unfortunately that load is a Ho Hum performer in my 38 special revolvers. Grrrrr.
They like the 158gr bullet ahead of a faster powder.
I need to buy a six cavity of that mold.
But I also want to really try some Wad Cutters.

Try the lee 125RF
I know that you don't save a lot of
lead, but that is the reason I originally chose the Lee 125rf six banger mold
over the 158grn molds to save a little lead. It has been a mold that I have been very happy with. I use the mold mainly for 9mm and 357sig and lastly for a great 38 sp plinking round. Being able to cast one bullet and use it for three different cartridges is a big plus in my book.

Another vote for .358 dia Lee TL mold. The one I have is a 2 cavity. But sur has made a lot of bullets.
