So as I continue on with my journey into bullet casting I have a Lyman 358156 mold coming my way. This is the Skeeter Thompson design for a 155 grain gas checked semi wadcutter which has two crimp grooves. The one closer to the bullet nose is intended for 357 mag and standard 38 special loads. The second one down is meant for 38/44 loads. These are 38 special brass with case capacity of a 357 mag. Has anyone done some loading for 38/44 rounds? I would only be willing to try this in 357 firearms, but 357 brass is a lot more expensive than 38 special and I don't shoot any other semi-wadcutters, so mixing up rounds would not be a problem.
