Big Timber SASS #19724Life Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Have any of you bullet casters used this bullet in a 38 spl case in your 73 rifle ? How does it feed ? Who makes a 38-105 TC mold ? I can't seem to find a mfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 When used for CAS, SWC bullets generally do not feed well in toggle link rifles. The step on the bullet tends to hit on the mouth of the chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacherman Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Great in pistols as I've used them for many years. Cast, tumble lube, load and shoot. No need to size in any of my 38'. Won't work well in rifle like Dave said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Hurd #12379 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Lee 38-105 swc will not work in rifle, but does work really well in revolver. A few years back someone on the SASS wire got together a custom mold order for a Lee 38-105 TC six cavity mold and I got one. I wish I had bought two, anyway it's basically the same 105 TC bullet shape the commercial casters use. It works great in the rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Hurd #12379 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Big Timber when I make it back to Bear Creek to shoot I can show you some of the bullets I make from that mold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I am very happy with the Lee 6 cavity 125 RNFP for all my cowboy loads. I don't want 2 different loads to load or sort thru. Not good enough to tell the difference that 15 grains bullet weight would make. piece of mind, try to keep it simple GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either 38 or 357 brass runs through my '73 like corn through a goose. Lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
