First batch of 357 Keith bullets

[ezekiel38]

Few days ago got the 173 grain Keith 358 bullets from GT Bullets. Set down and stuffed some into some 357 cases after church yesterday. 13.3 grains of 2400 and a CCI 500 match.

When we get some moisture and the fire danger drops these will be going to the range to be fired in my Ruger Match Champion. Yes they are long but fit in the Ruger MC but not in the SP.
That's ok I have different loads for the SP. Pic in a few.

Nice, always like that bullet.

I have some of those bullets but by way of Matt's Bullets. Got them for the SS BH that ended up at a nephews. Got 180gr xtp, and 180 WFN's too, for heavy bullet, hunting options. Funny, I chose the same powder and nearly the same charge. Luck.

It's interesting - I read somewhere that Elmer actually thought that the 358429 bullet was a bit too heavy for optimum results in the .38 Special. I think it's just about perfect for the .357 Mag, though.

Hahaha, very nice, I have a HP mold version of that boolit. Very nice shooter. The extra length just allows to add a little more powder.....lol
My standard 4” GP and my 3” S&W 686+ really like that 358429 design. Great boolit.

But yes, fits the SS NM BH but not the nephews SP101. Which is good. I'd not have run the charge up where ours is with the SP in mind.

Love those 173 Keith's been using them from Leadhead HC's for years up to 16grs only load in any S.A. to jump a base pin out .
Accurate in my blackhawk and N frame m28.
