A good while back I had LBT make me a mold for my Marlin 1895 Cowboy .357. Long story short; some remodeling, work and other projects sidelined me from working up a load for this until now.
I finally had a chance this past weekend to mold up about 250 bullets. Awesome bullets BTW. I miked them and they are very round with almost no variation right out of the mold. Mine came out .360 dia consistently. I used Lyman#7 alloy
I have some questions about a load for this gun.
1. What experiences/recommendations have you guys had with this gun and cast lead as far as bullet diameter goes?
I plan to run them through my Lyman 450 to put the gas checks on and lube them anyway. Have you guys had better accuracy with .358, .359 or .360 dies?
2. Do any of you have a good load recommendation for this? I am interested in both accuracy and hunting loads.
Thanks in advance for you help.
