158 SWC bullet question

[IlikeSA]

I've used and liked Acme and MBC coated and uncoated bullets and prefer the coated. You could buy pin gauges for 2-3 bucks each online. I recommend .357, .3575 and .358. That will tell you the sizes and if there is an oddly sized cylinder.

I prefer coated as it seems, for my revolvers, more accurate. Yours may like something different. Get 500 of each and try them. I find each of my revolvers has its own likes and dislikes.

Nice work on the building, Walkalong! And congrats on the impending move, hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

That great smell of burning beeswax and alox along with some fairly realistic smoke. Not as much as black powder, but some smoke.

Like others have said, “Fit is King”
1. It starts with bore size
2. Then goes to throat size
3. Then to lube
Get them correct in that order and there is No Leading

Of course it can masked by coated boolits and this is the easy way out!

My vote is on acme bullets. Very nice shooting and no lead.
I also like gt bullets. Matt has some nice boolits also.

I like the Hi-Tek coated bullets because I can load a thousand rounds and my hands are still clean.
Believe it or not, this is a big positive.
