      Received the NOE specials posting last night. Saw one TL mold that interested me: TL357-135-RF. Just wondering if this mold would function well with light .38 Special/357 Magnum loads considering the nominal .357 diameter. Most of my molds cast bullets of .359 to .360 sized to .358 with good results. The idea of a tumble lube design holds greater appeal to me now as I am shooting my .38 Spec. S&W K frequently now, so simplified volume production of bullets would be a plus. Would appreciate advice from others who have cast 9mm bullets for .38 Sp. loads.

        It doesn’t look like there’s much to crimp to as that design doesn’t have a cannelure.  I suppose that doesn’t matter much with light recoiling 38 special loads but there might be an issue with 357 mags.
