Loading .357 Mag for Leverguns

I have an older NEI mold that drops a SWC-GC bullet of around 195 gr. I had very good luck with it using LilGun powder. I know I used a slightly under max load and had very good accuracy out of it. I would have to look at notes for charge and velocity but using Seyfried’s method I cast soft nosed bullets with this mold and took my first two deer with my Rossi 92. Can’t give great report on how it did as the buck I shot I aimed too high and spine shot him so he dropped in his tracks. And the doe that wandered in shortly thereafter took off running towards the property line at the first shot, so I used my CAS skills and shot her five or six more times before she got too far!

I never used H110 because I had a Lee Powder measure when I first started (and for years afterwards) and it did not like H110, it would dribble the powder out of the drum and get nearly locked up as it flowed between the plastic bits!
