How are you getting on with it now.

Have you sorted out the problem you had with it?


Just an update on the bullets I have tried.

I was sent some free samples to try from the "Shellhouse Bullet Co."
Some solid 148gn & some solid 125gn .358 Wad cutters
The 125gn would not fit in the cylinder
Some of the 148gn ones did, but where not as accurate as the Wad cutters I brought direct off Alan Westlake

I was looking at casting my own, so I sent one of Alans Wad cutters to Henry Krank with a view to buying a Lee Mould & Sizer.
They measured Alans Wad cutter & found it to be just under .357 (356.5 size)
The same as I had measured using my cheap callipers.

Would love to know what Mould Alans guy uses to cast the bullets as they shoot the best.
I am just concerned a little when the day comes that I can no longer purchase bullets direct from Alan.

The closest bullets I have seen to Alans are Hornady 148gn 38 Cal Hollow Base Wad Cutters.
Norman Clarkes should be able to get hold of these, don't know whether to give them a try or not.
