Glad I gave these a try! Was going to stick with the more commercial ones I was using just cause I had a proven formula. Using the same charge, at ~1200fps, 4.5″ max spread of 10 shots, with most staying within 3″, at 25yds works for my plinking purposes. Every bit as good or better than what I was using, at a much better price!

Trying these for target loads in my .357. I’m going to experiment with different loads of HP-38 to adjust the point of impact. Flys nice and leaves a clean hole.

Indeed a true replica of H&G # 51 bevel base, as confirmed by a 40 + yr old H&G catalog. Great in 357 Magnum and makes a fine all round bullet in your 38 Special. Stateline’s SWC is better in my opinion than the typical hard cast SWCs out there.
Service is great – got my order in two days!

What a awsome cast bullet. Shoots unbelievable out of my 357. Thanks Jim for casting these shooters.

“Outstanding Quality Bullet” Just tested some 357 recipes (bunny fart loads for plinking, moderate loads and magnum zombie loads) using this SWC with my S&W 686 Plus w/ 5″ bbl and I love it. The loads were accurate and tight. The big plus for me was no leading, which means no extra elbow grease cleaning my revolver “Nice”. So if your on the fence don’t hesitate just order these quality SWC bullets. Just when I find a quality lead bullet I and my revolver like the children in Sacramento are in the process of passing a bill that prohibits lead bullets to be used @ indoor and out door ranges. They already outlawed lead bullets for hunting.
