swaging 375" bullets to fit a 36 caliber conversion cylinder that fits 38 specials is quite challenging, getting the bullets to be sized just enough to engage the rifling of a .36 caliber black powder revolver can be done but understand the conversion cylinder is not sized to .375" so its going to take some careful sizing to get them to work.

Thats pretty good accuracy, Finding a hollow base bullet mold would make it shine. Elmer Keith wrote in Sixguns, about a Civil War Major, he carried a pair of 36 cal. 51 navy pistols, he said he would kill wild hogs with them no problem. One shot behind the ear, would drop them kicking every time.

i just received an email from western bullet molds and my single cavity 150gn hollow based round nosed mold is in route and i will be casting and loading for the .38 long and short colt with this bullet and see if we can squeeze down those groups abit.

I have the Lyman/Ideal mold for heeled 36 caliber bullets #358160. Even though the mold catalogs as 358 it casts a .375 bullet body, the .358 is the heel portion. This was Lyman's convention as it is the same for the 41 Colt molds they list at .387 but are .401 on the body. If you would like I can send you some of the 358160s to try.

If you ever decide on a conversion cylinder i would purchase the heel based cylinder so you can use the 375" ball or conical.
