Mould for Westlake revolver

#1 Post by hobbesy »

I'm going to be picking up a Westlake 3561 revolver next week and want to start making my own bullets.

Does anyone have any experience in this and can tell me what moulds youve been using please?

Thanks

I use a 6 cavity Lee:

Then size them to .356

Then shake them about with a bit of Alox lube.

Six shots at 20 yards, sandbag rested, open sights.

I swage bullets for mine using a swaging press I bought years ago . The difficulty now is buying pure lead wire 8mm diameter , my last roll is almost gone .
