Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

For the distances you'll shoot, I wouldn't go over a 300 grain bullet myself. I've shot my old Ideal 255 gr. in my Schoyen Ballard out to 400 yds. and gotten excellent results with a 255 gr.. I have another Ideal that casts a 320 grain, and at the 125o fps load I use, the recoil is not offensive at all. But the Schoyen is a 12 lb.+ gun, so if yours is lighter it may feel more kick.

No, I have the old Doc Hudson mold #375272, and that mold you listed.

I've a question about the Money Bullet. I know most of you shoot .45 caliber, but I'm looking for a Money Bullet that has been scaled down to shoot in a .38-55. I've seen a few, but I need a .379" diameter, which I've not found commercially. Has anyone had any competitive success with a scaled down Money Bullet? Oh and I might add, I'm shooting a C. Sharps Highwall with a 30" barrel and pushing the lead with smokeless powders.
I shoot money bullets in my 45 and 40 caliber rifles and they work well. The 45 will do 1200 yards and the 40 out to about 700.
In my 38-72, for closer work, I use the RCBS 312 weight bullet for pigs at 300 meters. Its a low cost mould that does the job very well (10 in row sometimes).
