Now the ammo I want to make is for range blasting purposes.
Now looking at the Lyman book it mentions 38 special cast bullets being sized to .358" diameter
For 357 Magnum it mentions Cast Bullets used being sized to .357" diamaeter.
Now I often see cast bullets being sold as .38/357 either as .357 or .358. I'm confused as which is the one I should buy or is safe to use.
For the record I'm thinking of ordering from Kings (http://www.betterbullets.info/customers/Retail_Aug_2011_KSS.pdf) since I can just do a pickup very easily, but assume I was also looking into Oregon Trail stuff or some of the other cast bullets (flexability and more options is always a plus).
Now....Alliant Rant
Alliant why didn't you figure out Blue Dot didn't work with 125gr or lower 357 before I looked in the Lyman book and bought it and by pure luck saw on their website not to use it!
I originally got Blue Dot for the flexibility in 9mm and 45ACP, but the fact I can't use 125gr or lower bullets kind of stinks as it means spending more for higher weights and less options!:banghead:
Okay I feel better.
