What the best(quality) maker mould for a .38spl cast bullet.
Thanks in advance.

Of all the "standard target designs" out there, all are full wadcutters almost without exception at 140 to 160 grains. Modify gun or load just very slightly, mold "x" will out perform mold "y", or, vice versa. ... felix

Ahhh, Felix - the voice of reason. I think most of us have been down the road of mould brand 'a' vs mould brand 'b'.

Which is to suggest that the pro's and con's of certain major brands (that begin with the letter 'L') has been over discussed and such discussions can be found with very little research (perhaps only going back a month or so in the threads).

I agree with Felix 100 %. Havng said that I have never shot a LY358477 over 5 gr unique in any 38 that did not group great. Gianni.

John, that load and boolit is THE classic load for any 38 special revolver. Hard to beat in that kind of gun, boolit seated in the crimping groove, or two tenths grain less of same powder when taper crimped on the bottom of the driving band. Crimp position depends on cylinder length. ... felix

Another vote for Lyman #358477 in 38 Special. Just a great boolit with about any sane load of an appropriate powder. I've shot a couple F-250 truckloads of jackrabbits with this bullet out of a number of 38 caliber revolvers.

I have a NIB Lyman 2 cav mold for the 148 WC. At school right now, don't remember the mold number.

biga,
Any of the mentioned mold makers make good molds.
It is your choice as to usage whether you get a swc or dewc.
The most important thing is bullet fit to the cyllinder of your pistol. If the bullet is too small, none of the bullets from any of the molds will shoot well.You need 0.0005 to 0.001 oversize, or you will be very frustrated. If you have the right size bullet, any of the mold makes will shoot well.
It is bullet fit, not bullet mold maker. - Lew

ill tell you about my secret bullet. Its the ugly little 105 lee put it with 5 grains of redot and it has shot good in every .38 ive tried it in. I cast coffee cans full of them with two 6 cavity lee molds and dont even size em just tumble lube em and shoot. like i said its accurte low in recoil and is very UGLY!
