38Slim moulds are here!

[Springfield Slim]

I will do a test cast tomorrow and ship the next day if all goes well.

OK, I'll bite. What's a 38Slim bullet look like? Is this like the Snakebite bullet? I tried to get the snakebite bullet to feed reliably in my Pumas and was unsuccessful. I liked the concept but couldn't make it work.

Mornin' Hellgate,

I think all 'em Pumas are 92s.  If yours is a 92, measure the distance between the rails.  If it's too big, the gun will stovepipe every now and then.  I ended my stovepiping problems by putting a Ten Thousandths brass shim under the RIGHT rail.  I got the fix from Marauder's web site and it worked.  Now the gun runs Snakebites without ever a bobble.

They are a 105 grain Truncated cone Big Lube(tm) bullet. Should be good for regular length 38 special and also for 38 S&W pocket pistols.

Hey thanks for the swift answers. I'm shooting 158 grainers with 777 (3F BTW) and once I get the OAL dialed in there's no problem. Just that each bullet needs a different OAL to sing.

DD, I've thunk real hard on the rail shim and almost done it but chickened out since so far, so good on functionality for both my rifles. I may just up and do it as i keep getting reminders from guys like you that don't regret it.

Test cast has bullets at 100 grains and .360-.361.

All moulds were mailed this morning, even Mick's in Australia and Arne's in Sweden.
