I'm thinking about having a custom mold made for my 38-55. I've had the best luck with the Lee 379-250 as it drops the fattest bullet of the bullets I've tried - Ranch Dog, Lyman and RCBS. The thing I like least about the Lee bullet is the radiused bottom edge which makes pan lubing messy - a square edge push out nice and neat.
I like the look of the Lyman 265 grain bullet but it just won't drop big enough to shoot well in my 38-55 Marlin Cowboy.
Here's what I'm thinking.
265 grains
plain base
driving band forward of the crimp groove (sensible Keith style?)
I'm hoping some of the experts frequenting this site will lend their expertise and guidance.
Thanks in advance!
