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! :-o
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?
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.

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
Here is the link to it

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. ^:)^
