Best 357 lee cast mold

[tyler318]

Was wondering what is a good lee cast bullet mold and powder combo for target shooting?

Speer and Lyman reloading manuals have accurate data on cast bullet reloading data. You can also search the sassnet.com forums for what cowboy action shooters, like me use. All of our bullets have to be cast lead with pistol velocities no greater than 1,000 fps. I just bought the 358-125-RF 6-cavity 125-grain RNFP mold but have not had good weather for casting.

Thats a great bullet. For the .357 I like the 158 grain SWC from Lee also. A two cavity mold costs $20.00. If your not competing you can turn out a crap load of bullets in a day.

Have had very good luck w/ Lee's 158 RNF, and a light charge of W231

Ditto what mac45 said. I have have very good luck with the same cast bullet and powder.

Between my daughter and I we probably run 10,000 rounds a year down range of the Lee 125 RNFP. Cowboy shooting eats ammo like it free. Wait.... it almost is.

The 105 grain semi-wadcutter shoots very well. Over 3 grains of Bullseye, it's a low powered accurate load.

The mold A Garbers mentioned in a go to for me, the 125s even work in 9mm and 38 ACP.
