First off, let me say that my only association with Stonewall is as a happy customer. I learned about them on the internet and wanted to pass along my good experiences. I've shot several thousand of their .38 158 grain SWC's and have been very satisfied with their quality and cost. But a couple of my fixed-sight Model 10's shoot slightly high @ 15 and 25 yards. Maybe I needed a lighter bullet? I contacted Robert to ask him about his .38 147 grain RNL bullets. I like RNL in the .38, they're traditional and I just shoot them at targets anyway. But 147 grains seemed pretty light to me and I was concerned. Robert sent me out a sample of his bullets, not just the 147 grain RNL, but also the 125 grain RNL. And he sent enough bullets for a REAL test, not the six bullets I got from another major caster. Anyway, I went to the range today and they shot GREAT. The 147's (which are actually 150-151 grains and exactly .358) shot great - exactly where I wanted them to, about 1 inch lower than the 158's. Interestingly, the 125's (which also measure .358) shot about 3 inches lower than the 150's. This is too low for my fixed-sight Model 10's, but based on the 1 1/2 inch group I shot DA, standing @ 15 yards, they bear further testing in my Model 14 and 15.
Just wanted to let you know about my positive experiences. Robert doesn't have a website but can be found over at the Marlin Forum.
