Looks like a variety of bullets. Were they all 158 gr.? It looks like some jacketed as well as cast or swaged lead. Just curious.Call that a night. Got a bit over 400 done. Got to love that 2011 price.

Gotta give another shout out to T&B, freaking great company. Travis, the owner will answer the phone and if he doesn't make it, will get the molds and do it. He is a great businessman and I will always give his company a thumbs up.I had a few 158 fmjs left over. The lions share are poly coated lead from T&B.
Edit: Yes, they're all 158. It's generally the only weight I load in .357.
T&B? I should know it probably?Gotta give another shout out to T&B, freaking great company. Travis, the owner will answer the phone and if he doesn't make it, will get the molds and do it. He is a great businessman and I will always give his company a thumbs up.

Got some .45 Colt brass primed up and going to try some HS-6 with 250 grain dirty-molly slugs later today. I got those bullets for a song. Only 30 of them though. Dirty dang things they are!
I remember now. You brought them up when I was looking for bullets for the then new Rossi 92.T&B Bullets are a local company and include shipping in their prices. Travis the owner is an awesome guy, he actually answers the phone and will do a lot of custom stuff if needed.
That is a super heavy projectile, if you don't mind me asking, did you cast and coat them or where did you buy them. Will they fit in an AR mag? Also, what flavor of powder are you using? I've always loaded 208-220gr and a heavier bullet sounds great for more energy down range.50 rounds of 300 BKO, 245gr RNFP with coating

Wow, a wealth of knowledge there, thank you very much. I don't have Quickload but need to look into it. I do have all the other components and will order some heavies from Missouri Bullet Co. The information you provided is greatly appreciated, thank you.The Bullit:
Missouri Bullet Company
#HT-309245BLK
.309 Diameter
245 Grain RNFP
Brinell 20
Bullet OAL 1.340 +/-
For Subsonic Work
Hi-Tek 2-Extreme Coating from J&M Specialized Products P/L
Note: Approximately 238 grains @20 BHN
The load:
10.5gr of Accurate 1680
COAL: 2.060
Mags:
Gen2 20rd PMAGs
Barrel: Noveske 8" stainless
Note: The original uncoated bullet was 245gr but the coated versions, which is the only thing they have now, are a little lighter. The original load I developed was 10.0gr under the 245gr (uncoated). With the coating I can push them a bit more, hence, 10.5gr, and it clocks much consistent velocities. Do not recomend pushing them faster. Per MBC, Brinell number 20, that a chamber pressure of 28,200psi. Quickload gives me 27,900psi for 10.5gr. If you have QUickLoad PM your email and I will email the load file and the bullet file.

Dang, you've been busy! I wish I had enough spare time to reload, I've got stacks of components and no time to assemble.Got a few 300BLK cases prepped and ready to load when I get some more primers.
Man that Giraud tri-way trimmer is NICE.
