Not many guys cast bullets anymore, or seem

to be overly adventurous. But I noted LEE has introduced a really nifty 147 gr. .35 cal. pistol mould. It is a truncated flat tip. Not only would it be a dandy in .38 or .357 but it might also be good for 9mm luger if the flat base does not get into the case taper. Most 147 gr. bullets are "boattailed" for that reason. My RCBS is.

They also have a really neat looking 95 gr. flat point that would do great in .380 ACP IF it feeds. Still a dandy light bullet .38 Special load as well.

Lastly I saw they are making a short run of .41 Swiss moulds for a .418" 320 gr. plain base flat point. Obviously way heavy for .41 handguns, none the less, I have a like bullet I've cast and shot to 1200 fps in .41 Special cases that gave incredible penetration. It mimic's many old BP rifle loads of the day. No trouble at all sizing to .410-.411 with a push through sizer. Would do well in .405 Win. as well. I tried them in .410 WSL but it is a little spooky, being a blow back action, no hot-rodding. But cheap fun.
