Thanks, guys
I always shot the Hornady 358-200FTX bullets in my FA. Deadly accurate. My stash ran out, and now they want $65/100!
I’m not going to pay that for any bullet. You would think they were Sierra mk’s.
So now, I’m busy casting the RCBS 35-200FN bullet.

That RCBS 35-200FN is an excellent bullet. What alloy did you use?i26963 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 7:06 pm Thanks, guys

I use that bullet in my DW 357 Mag, XP 35 Rem and my 35 caliber hunting rifles. I get tight groups with all of them.

Re: Revolver 40
I was gifted over 600 lbs. of WW, and 100 lbs. Lino, and assorted lead.
I invested in a leAd tester to sort out some of the lead. Pretty neat instrument and very reasonable at $120+shipping

Re: Revolver 40
That mixture brings you close to being the same as "Hardball" alloy, which is what I use in my 7TCU and 7BR. I use COWW plus a little tin in my revolver and the 35 Rem XP. But there's no denying your alloy works in you revolver, The results speak for themselves. Again, awesome score.i26963 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 8:38 amCharliehigh standard 40 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 8:14 amThat RCBS 35-200FN is an excellent bullet.
