Source for .357-.358 158 grain RN FMJ Bullets?
I would like to find a source for .357 158 grain FMJ RN bullets without crimping cannelures. Not interested in flat points or plated bullets like Ranier's. I cannot find any. Suggestions?

How many are you looking for? 1000? more?
I am fairly certain that I have a full case or two on hand.

Armscor 38/357, 158gr round nose jacketed bullets are inexpensive and shoot as good as anything I've ever tried at 100yds out of my 357 Maximum. Lead is exposed at the base only, none riding on lands and the back of the bullet is concave shaped which I really like. The pic above looks like them. These Armscor bullets I speak of are brass jacketed.

Maybe the bullet people are not encouraging 357 Magnum shooters to use the wrong bullets. You need to roll crimp them. What other application do you have in mind?

I will disagree here. You do not HAVE TO ROLL CRIMP ammunition
Most all light loads do not require any crimping. Just remove any case belling that you might have done.
For loads that do need crimping (based on powder selection or recoil), I COLLET CRIMP my 357 Magnum ammunition.

My experience is that no crimping or bullet cannelure is required, and my intended use does not involve using them for the .357 Magnum. I found the Armscor .357 FMJ bullets at Graf's and ordered some. I didn't even know that Armscor supplied bullets for reloading, but those seem to be exactly what I want. Plus, wonder of wonders, they are in stock.
