      NOE’s new 150-grain round-nose bullet is fantastic.  I would love to see Swede and company make a flat-nose bullet based on it.  If you flatten the nose and maybe shorten the bottom driving band some, you could have a really nice bullet good for lots of guns including the Rossi lever action.  The Lee 358-125-RF is out of stock on some websites, which I think means there is demand for such a bullet.  Lots of people are writing about how that bullet and the RCBS 140-grain cowboy bullet are working really well for them in cowboy revolvers and lever-action rifles.  Thanks for reading this post.  What do you think?

        I would love to see a light RNFP, say 125gr as a solid and maybe 110-120 gr as a HP.  I have the Lee 358-125 RF and have been wanting that exact profile in a hollow point.  It shoots great in my .38s but want the hollow point for varmint blasting.

          ive modified one of the lee 125gn mold to cast a 128gn hollow point with no lube groove as I powder coat em… works great but a noe mold based on the lee would be even better
