A little help here.
« on: March 20, 2011, 02:42:05 AM »
I inherited a few of these.  I don't know what they are but, they shoot extremely well in my 357 Herrett.  200 grains. Gas check. Flat point.  I compared them with my 200 grn RCBS FP mold and they are not the same unless they changed the ogive a bit over the years.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 Maybe a 358315 Lyman with a buggered nose! I hate it when I get a bunch of bullets in a bag that's unmarked. They always shoot great, but I can't replace them!

If you have not already found this site:

Go there, register, and inquire.  They are a wealth of lead casting information.

I'm also going with the Lyman 358315GC listed as a 204gr 35cal 358 dia. bullet.
Remember it's where the first bullet goes out of a cold barrel that counts most.

Yep...had the same thing happen, 'who-knows bullet' of 'unknown alloy' shot great.
Its another example of the 'divine comedy', methinks......
