NOE 38/357 Mould

[Ben]

This one is rapidly becoming one of my favorite 38/357 Cast bullets.
With mild to moderate loads, it is also a nail driver in my Ruger # 1, 357 Maximum

 

[Brad]

I have shot a fair number of those. My guns all seem to like them.

 

[Ben]

I think it is a good " general purpose " bullet for the 38 Spec. and the 357 Mag.

That WOULD be a good general purpose 38/357 bullet. That nose is wide, but the radius looks like it would feed in leverguns without any fuss & bother, and nose length isn't excessive when crimped into the most-forward groove.

 

[Brad]

I bought it for just that purpose, to be an all around bullet.

 

[Ben]

Cycles through my lever guns smooth as silk.

Is that a copy of Veral's WFN?

Pretty much.
Feeds fine my 92 Win unless I let them get a little long. Shoots well in the revolvers too.

 

[CZ93X62]

You guys are going to cost me MORE MONEY.

I already have WFN design bullets for "multi-purpose" rifle-revolver apps in 32/20, 357, and 44 caliber. All have GC shanks to expand their utility into the 1700-1800 FPS realms in rifles. No law requires such high velocities, though--even in California, where all things not prohibited are automatically mandatory by default. A plain-based bullet running 900-950 FPS from a handgun gets 1200-1250 FPS from its companion rifle's barrel. And I REALLY like standard-weight SWCs at 900-1000 FPS in my revolvers of late. DRAT YOU GUYS, ANYWAY. This could get expensive.

Al has a couple in stock as well. Hope this helps CZ93x62

Oh, just immensely.

Me too Ben. That in a dimple point is my favorite in .38 and it’s big brother in 180 gr. Is what I feed my 1894 .357. In fact shot a beaver today with one.

 

[Ben]

I'll bet the beaver is now " history "...........

Ben,

That one closely resembles my Lyman 358416, except with a crimp groove. Did you ever work up any good loads with the 358416? I used a taper crimp and got good results with no leading, but those loads were a little warm for my Colt Officer's Model.

Just curious to now of any comparison you could offer.

Bisley

 

[Ben]

Yes, I've shot the 416' out of my Marlin, 38 Spec. CBC lever gun.
Shoots great.

They don’t complain even a little! No flopping around like a .22, just done.

Ben

Agree. I used this bullet in my Blackhawk with WC820 for jackrabbits. It works great & is plenty accurate. This one in the picture is from unknown range scrap.

 

[KHornet]

tis a nice looking bullet!
