Cast bullet recomendation for Marlin 357 cowboy

[Ray Cover]

I have a Marlin 1894 0r '95 (whichever one has the octagon barrel)  Marlin Cowboy in 357.  What would you all recommend for cast bullets in this gun?

Alloy?
Sizing?
Gas check?

Thanks,

Ray

RCBS makes a 158 gr Cowboy mold that works great in lever rifles, Lee makes one similar both work well.  Acceptable accuracy and no hang-ups.  Nice wide meplat, good for hunting as well.

Not a gas checked bullet and alloy depending on how hard you plan to drive it.  Wheel weights have worked well for me.  If you want to push it, water drop or heat treat is more than hard enough.

The Lee 125 rnfp is a great shooter in my gun pushed by 6 grains of Universal.  It does a 1" group at 50 yards.  I haven't shot it at 100 on paper, but it knocks resettable rams down at 100 meters.

I shoot the Lee 158 RF in my B92, over 7.9gr. AA#5. That's below the book 357 loads, but anymore leads the bore. It's super accurate and feeds slick. Plus you can get it in a 6 cavity mould so you can make a bunch of bullets in a hurry!

I like wheel wieghts in 180 gr LBT style LFPGC myself or 158gr LSWCGCs.

this is one of the better 38 cal bullets and a lee 6 cavity can really crank the out.

I run both LEE 125 gr and the 158 gr SWC in mine both are very accurate. I cast mine in WW water quenched so I can run them pretty fast.
