[QUOTE="Critter Picker, post: 2022254, member: 111781"] My favorite store bought bullet for my Smiths has always been the Sierra 158 JHC. that being said I started casting my own bullets 50 years ago. WARNING this is a very addictive option. Back in the mid 70's I ran into my high school graphics teacher and ended up buying 3/4 ton of linotype from him. I worked at a tire place and brought home a 5 gal pail of wheel weights every couple of weeks. My garage has so much lead in the one corner that it could tip up like the Titanic at any moment. In handguns I've found that cast bullets are superior to jacketed bullets because you can size them to the bore of the gun. I'm sure that you can find cast bullets for sale on the net. I have even found specific bullets for sale and tried them before I bought the mould. Good luck, enjoy your 686 they are a lot of fun! PS just bought some brass from Starline. It's the best handgun brass I've ever purchased. Measured every piece and the length is right there. No need to trim. That's pretty rare. On your handgun brass keep all trimmed to the same length because a uniform crimp is critical for accuracy. [/QUOTE]
