I'll probably order some more plated bullets from Xtreme today on their 17% off sale.
I have some of their 158 grain SWC, which feed and shoot OK in my 24" Rossi 92, but hit a little high with the stock front sight (about 3 or 4 " high at 50 yards). I'll probably replace that sight eventually with a taller fiber optic sight, but for the time being, I thought I'd try the 125 grain flat-points.
Anyone have experience, good or bad, with that bullet? I have no reason to push them harder than .38 Special pressures for plinking, but I'm sure I'll load some in .357 anyway! Just because I can.
The 125s have no canneleur, so bullet setback in a full magazine with heavy loads would be my first concern...
Can't speak to the bullets, but, if you use a Lee Factory Crimp Die, and use it firmly, you should no problem with the bullet moving around.....
So, are you saying that we should have to get those Lee Factory Crimp Die so that we will not experienced any problem? Then if that is true then I think we will have to get a try with this.

Yep, Lee Factory Crimp Dies are the way to go with tube magazines and heavy recoil. If you want to get real serious you can even add a cannelure tool to your bench and groove your bullets for crimping, but the Lee FCD works fine. My experience, yours mileage may vary.
