Tuolumne Lawman 6127 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 After a long (over two years) cooperative project by myself, Walt from Kirst Konverters, Debbie Sims at EMF, and Steve at Bear Creek Bullets in California, Bear Creek Bullets now producing .357" hollow base round nose bullets for .375" bore converted 1851/61 Colts and 1863 Remington revolvers! No need to line barrel, and will also work in standard .357" bore pistols and lever action rifles. More to come. This allows you to replicate the original 1892 Army load for the .38 Colt, which could be used in converted .36 percussion or all modern .357" bore guns. More info to come!

Tuolumne Lawman 6127 Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 150 grain hollow base. Use standard 150 grain recipes, not 148 wadcutter. The wad cutters seat much deeper. Because of the hollow base you can load them longer in a 38 Colt case for use in rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
