Looking for someone who sells the 158 grain Lyman #358156 bullets. I have no way of casting my own here in my apartment.

where are you located? I have many coffee cans full of that bullet but don't care to ship them.

I'm a ways away from you here in upstate, NY. No one around here has any of them (not suprising given the few shops, and ever fewer that sell any reloading supplies.)

David, try this guy @ Leadhead bullets.

I've bought several batches from him.
Let me know if you still come up empty handed....hate to see that happen to any of us.

Yeah, I checked on his site, it doesn't appear that he has any that I could find.

David,

Is there a particular reason you're looking for the 358156?

The gas check makes it a more expensive bullet to produce and is totally unnecessary at normal handgun velocities.

A plain based 158 gr LSWC that isn't too hard would probably do everything you want and will be much easier to find. Tennessee Valley Bullets may even have a similar bullet in a softer alloy.

Hey Paul 5388, good to see you again!
Are you keeping those hogs thinned out?
B.

 

[Paul5388]

We're trying to. We shot 6 a few weeks ago.

And they are coyote bait 'cause Paul don't eat no hog!

The best thing about 358156 is the two crimp grooves. The gas check isn't needed for handgun ammo, and gas checks have become very expensive in the last few years.

FWIW I know quite a few apartment dwellers that cast bullets. If I wanted that bullet I would just cast it myself.
