I am sorry I even asked the question now. Bradshaw and oddshooter were the ones with answers that were more what I was looking for. To them I say thank you.
Bringing in my shooting ability and such is, in my opinion, not germane to the question. I may be better than I think I am or could be much worse. I seen both at the range. My casting experience has been many years with mainly "Keith" bullet molds.
Again I am sorry for the original question and if anyone wants to post and answer fine and if they don't fine. It probably isnt going to change anything in MO. For now that is.

I have enjoyed great accuraty out yonder with Keith bullets and Keith look-alike, and lousy accuracy from bullets well-poured from crooked molds, Keith-type and otherwise. I, for one, appreciate your interest, and this is a place to explore it. David Bradshaw |

Is there a better bullet than the Lyman 429421/H&G 503 as far as a longer range bullet in the 44 Mag. Some seem to think there is. If so what is the better design in weights around 250 or 260 grains? Keeping in mind that it may be used for game at normal ranges while doing duty as a plinking/target bullet at 200 or more yards. This is one of those questions which can only be answered by the shooting of each individual style bullets and each sixgun. I have had remarkable accuracy with the Keith .44 Bullet to long-range. It works in most .44 Special and .44 Magnum sixguns, quality sixguns that is. However, I have found the .357, actually originally .38 Keith bullet, Lyman #358429 to be much pickier than the .44 bullet when it comes to long-range accuracy. |

Over the years Lyman & some others changed the "Keith" mould & it wasn't made to his original design. I have some of both & some shoot better than others. The best mould I have, which is more of a true Keith bullet than my Lyman moulds is one made by Miha, square lube groove, driving bands are correct & accuracy is very good at long range in my specials & mags. Plus it's slightly heavier with my alloy which I think helps a bit at distance. I'm powder coating, not lubing.
Good question Webber!
