Gentlemen; I recently bought a Texan lss in .35 cal. I have been shooting homemade cast pistol bullets with only average accuracy results. I have read somewhere that Neilson 178 grain bullets shoot exceptionally well in the Texan. I bought some lighter weight slugs from Neilson that were in stock in 357 cal, and had several of them go out of the barrel at very low speeds. So slow that they didn't make to the 50 yard target. I thought it was caused by hammer lock, but I have come to the conclusion that that was not the cause. It sounded to me like the air went around the bullet, indicating that the diameter was not quite right, or that maybe I hadn't pushed the bullet into the chamber hard enough. Not quite Shure.
Anyway, I have been waiting for quite a while for the 178's to come back in stock, and today I see where they are finally available. They come in three diameters. .356, .357, and .358. Which diameter have you found through experience to be the most accurate?
Thank you for your responses in advance. As always a great bunch of guys, and a great forum.
