revoman Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I was using Master Blaster bullets in the 38 super 150 gr round nose sized .357. The bullet mold would have been made by Magma. The bullet had one lube ring and had a more of a pointed round nose. You can copy and paste the site below and it should bring up the image of the bullet. If anyone knows of anyplace making this bullet, please send me a note.

S&WIowegan Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Dean, Take a look at the Bushwhacker 147 gr LRN which is handled by Powder Valley. Carmoney, Tappe and I are playing with it this winter. It has a really long ogive that is made to order for fast reloads. I weighed out a sample of mine and they average about 148.5 grs. I finally got my Short Colt brass from Starline. Both the bullets and the brass were on backorder so I guess they're popular. On a separate note, what die do you use to get a crimp on your Short Colts? Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougCarden Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Bob, try using a 9x19 taper crimp die....I like the Lee factory taper crimp die myself, but the other taper crimp dies should be fine too..... DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob, I thought those were 145-gr.?? Now I gotta go weigh them again!!!! I just weighed out a sample of the Bushwhacker bullets. The box is labeled 145 gr. and they consistently weigh out to and average of 148 gr. so they're pretty close to your Master Blasters. Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the Lee undersized die from EGW for a 38 special for resizing and then I use a 9mm Lee factory crimp die body with a Lee 38 short colt roll crimp insert. I noticed with the undersized resizing die I do not have to crimp as much to keep the bullets from walking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
