Does anybody know of a manufacturer who offers a bullet fitting the above description? I don't know why but I want some?

The Lee c-309-155-F works wonderfully in those revolvers.

I tried the RCBS 150 gas check in my 30 carbine and got oblong holes at 25 yards. Could you give me overall length of the Lee bullet? The gun will shoot my copy of the Lyman 311316 into one little hole a t 25 yards and 1575 fps so it is not a gun problem.

I don't have one handy to measure, but it's essentially the same thing as that 311316. It'll work great in the revolver's 1:20 twist barrel.

Do you mean the Lee 309-113-f? Yes that bullet is very close to Lyman 311316.

Yep, you're right. My fingers fumbled and then I didn't notice. Thanks for the catch!

I always shot spire point gas checked 120 grain out of my Ruger. Did I miss something by not trying SWC? How are you loading them?

Thanks fer the replies fellas but I guess my original post was a little unclear. I do not cast my own bullets, I was wondering if these bullets would be commercialy avalible.
