Have not had a resin to reload 38 spl or 357 mag until I got my big boy. My so gave me all of his stuff for reloading them and would like to know what other people think of them .

MBC has a sterling reputation, so odds are you have some fine bullets there.
As Oldbrass mentioned, just need to see how the swc profile feeds through your rifle. A lot of levers feed them with no problems, but some can have cycling issues compared to more rounded profiles.

shooting them thru my big boy 38/357. I am using Unique powder at 4.2 gr. because that is what I have and with things the way they are it might be the only powder I get. I just don't need them to lead my barrel.

I have made up some dummy ones of both 38 and 357. the 357 cycled good but some of the 38 did not work to good,

38 special can be a little finicky in these leverguns. Dont place alot of merit in the 38 with a swc. Another bullet shape in 38 special might cycle just fine. If you want some good MCB try the 180gr pugnose. They work great.

I've used thousands of them with out any problems, I still have some in 45acp, 40, 9mm & 357. MBC does a good job and have great customer service, if you call a real person who works on the floor picks up the phone, no answering machines or computer personality talking.
Buy & use them with confidence

Agree 100%, I shoot 2 different 45 bullets of their and those Pugnose 180'sthat Al spoke about.
I've probably still have over 2k of their bullets here, and that's not counting the loaded rounds ready to go.
Load 'em up and have fun, safe a few as not sure on future supplies at the moment.
