Some of the 1st bullets I ever purchased when I started reloading were Hornady swaged in .358 & .429 variants, but they seem to have disappeared...?
As a raw, "still damp behind both ears!" newbie I was using WIN 231 for all my initial reloading forays, and there was "PUBLISHED" data in Hornady's very own load manual for both of these (it was #5, as I recall)! I felt pretty safe and secure, and was: but...
Oh, the little things they DON'T MENTION in published load manuals...
They all fired just fine and hit the targets. My buddy, who had just purchased a Redhawk and an almost $60 box of JHPs was in heaven to find out he could actually shoot it at the range for less than half the price!
Cheers!
P.S. Apparently at that time those were defined as part of their COWBOY line... Yee Hah!
