When I started casting boolits, my only experience had been round ball. Since I had several Lyman handles, Lyman was an obvious choice.
After several attempts, I've pretty well given up. For example, the 38 Special .358 moulds that I tried were worthless. One dropped beautiful .356 boolits. Another wadcutter mould dropped .361 with 1-2-97 alloy.
I tried RCBS and was not disappointed. 38 moulds dropped .3585 and 45 moulds .454. NOE came next. Wonderful products! Both companies will see more of my business.
Wish I had that wadcutter mould. It would be great in my 38S&W.
