Withdrawn

The Hornady swaged LRN is slightly cupped at the base and may work for you. Hard to find right now (what isn’t?) but Buffalo Arms shows them in stock. Good luck both in finding what you need and at The Cup.

Hey Thanks..that bullet looks worth looking into!...Midway is out but I may have another source to try. The Midway site has positive reviews listed in the comments. Found a video showing the cup base.

Wonder if they look like these 158...with somewhat of a cup on the bottom.

You might want to check the Oregon Trail Cast Bullet website. I've used a slew of these in my 45s, and they shoot really well. Missouri Bullets might be another choice.
 
I’m learning now all the ammo I’ve been shooting my entire life has been inferior and has held me back tremendously. I haven’t been able to let my true talent with a firearm be shown.

I'll post 60 of those Penn 158 TCBBs this week.
I don't have a precision 357/38, just a Colt DS and Ruger SS Snub, but the next Smith will be a new 357 long barreled N frame.

Wonder what a cup on the base of those Penn's might achieve? :rolleyes:

Have a feeling that the bevel base affects the flight also....seems like a straight wall with hollow base...works best for me. Have a feeling the bevel base was designed for easier reloading?
 
I shoot NRA Action Pistol too. I get my bullets locally here in Cheyenne, WY. Chey Cast bullets -- they have a good line up with 100 round "sample packs" so you can try out different types of bullets. I've had good results with their hi tek coated 148 grain DEWC in my K-Frame Open gun. Another good thing about CheyCast--they ship their bullets promptly! Chey-Cast Bullets

Was wondering if we have any empirical results to these bullet shapes to produce tight groups?

FYI only..after experimenting with several bullets and weights...I have settled on the GT Bullets "38 cal 130gr lead Hollow Point bullets w/crimp" I'd put a link down but learned that's a no-no here.

Experimented with their 145gr HP and 145gr SWC...the 130 grain HP is shooting sub 1-1/2" groups at 50 yards rested double action, in my S&W K frame with 6" Clarke barrel (less recoil than the 158 also).

Problem is there is now a 5 month wait for GT Bullets...I did locate a mold that duplicates 130 HP 100%, a Lyman Mag 25 furnace and Star lube sizer...don't really want to but I am now casting bullets! While I wait for my GT order to arrive.

Thanks 8shot.
Just checked their website.
Curious as to which grips you use.

As I type the scope mount for my 460 just arrived. :D
We be loading those in pic.
230, 255, 300 and 340 PC Penns.

I bought (3) pair of the Hogue (rubber) Big Butt grips, also designed and made my own "moving target" scope base...works great.

I know what a Clark barrel is but who makes The Clarke barrel? I can't google it.
