I only have the one. A 401-175-TC Lee six cavity. Throws a truncated cone, single lube groove bullet. I like it.

That's my mold. I am on my third one. Cast 750 of them today. Also cast 200 of Lee's 45 cal 205 SWC. It's Saturday for me today.

I am with them two but I only have the 2 popper mold not the 6. thinking that may be in the works for future mold. How do the sprues knock off on the 6 popper.

Currently it's a 185 gr Long round nose LBT 4 cav mold that I had Veral make up for me specifically for shooting revolver division in USPSA/ICORE.. it is modeled after a 405 cal 285 gr RN.. and drops nicely at .401" which means I need not size it.. It was made up with 92-6-2 in mind, but I've since switched to WW's+2% tin.. it still does nicely regardless and drops a bit heavier.. I'm looking forward to trying the 160 and 180 gr NOE molds that are in the production schedule later this year. I haven't tried the pointy 125 ish and 170 ish bullets enough to like em or dislike em yet..

My favorite is the RCBS 180gr. rounded flat point. The nose is bore riding and I load to 1.140" with almost all the front driving band in the case. It will load to 1.135", the industry standard and also allow long loading for the guns that are designed for it. A 1911 long chambered match gun comes to mind. Find the longest OAL that will fit the magazine and then check to see if it will chamber. Very accurate with med. burn powders.

I like the Lyman #401043 designed for the 38-40. It's been pretty accurate, easy to cast. The 2cav design would be a put off but I have it setup on a Magma Caster.

I have the Lee 175TC 6-cav like others. I converted mine to a flat base. In hind sight, I don't know that it's better, but it's done now. I just flare the cases a bit to start the boolit.
I also have the pointy boolit in a 170 grain mid-weight. I got it for bowling pins, and it turns out, it works very well for that.
Haven't found a need for any other boolits. I keep a few 180 XTCs around for an expanding j-word.
