Lyman 257231 106 gr

Does anyone have any experience with this bullet? I just picked this mold up at a yard sale and am hopeful that it will perform well in my relined Stevens 44 in 25-20 SS. Liner has a 1 in 10 twist. I would like to start out with fixed loads for now. I have been shooting rimfires for a couple of years and want to play around a little with something new.

I've used it, but only in the .25-35.  One of them (a Savage 99) has a liner with a 10" twist, and the bullet is pretty good at 50 and 100 yards with 9 gr. of SR-4759.  They do tip a little at 100 yards.  Whether you could get enough velocity out of your 44 in the smaller .25-20 SS case for stability and accuracy while keeping pressures low enough for the action would take some experimentation.
