I recently cast up a bunch of bullets with my new NOE HTC358-133-RN mold for 9mm. These bullets cast at an average of 134 grains with my alloy. I have sized these to .358", and today I decided to test them from my 4" Taurus Model 66 loaded in both 38 special and 357 magnum.
I got a package from Loads of Bacon of his world renown coated and bacon lubed bullets. Normally I load my medium velocity 357 Magnum rounds with HS-6. Just upon completing some 10MM testing with BE-86 and like the performance and velocity I was seeing with it I decided to use BE-86 in 357 Magnum.

Here is the NEW Taurus GX4 sub-compact, double stack 9mm handgun. The Taurus GX4 has two 11 round mags and is very small and light. It steps away a bit from the Taurus G3C however it seems just as reliable. Produced for CCW, the Taurus GX4 is loaded with features while adding the capacity shooters […]
I would be honored if you would take a step back with me to the first videos I posted on YouTube. I am starting off with the Taurus 689 Load Development series. There are 5 videos in this series spanning quite an array of folly, misfortune, and lamentation. In this Part 1 Introduction, we discuss the parameters of this project, as well as give a little backstory of the firearm itself. We then go in-depth about choosing the components for initial testing. I hope you enjoy!
