.468 moulds

[Harv33]

Any one know a source for some two cavity .468 Martini moulds ?.. The least expensive I can find is LEE at $181.00 total.
Thanks.

How about a Lee mould for .480 Ruger?

Accurate Molds(.com) and Mountain Molds(.com) could fix you up for less then your Lee price and the molds will be much higher quality.

I shoot the Lee 475/400 boolit in my Martini MkII and MkIV with excellent accuracy. They cast at .478-480 from 1 in 30 lead tin alloy and I shoot them unsized. Cost for the mould about $28. I tumble them in Lee liquid alox and thumb seat over 25 grains of SR4759, a dacron wad to hold the powder back against the primer, and a CF Ventures wax gas check under the boolit. The Martini Henry rifle has a very long tapered throat that goes from about .480 to .468 in about 6 inches. An slightly oversize boolit will size down to bore diameter no problem and this negates the need to resize your expensive brass as well. Sort of a win-win for all.

CBE have several that have been designed for the martini 462, 464 and 468

Thank you all for the help !!. I'll get on it.. I did see where Buff. Arms have some for $114.00, but that is still bending the pocket book a bit !!.
If you shoot a .475 or .480 out the barrel with a min. of .468, isn't that a pressure problem ?. I'm going to use reclaimed lead ingots from an indoor pistol range so I hope it is the correct hardness. I have two Brit. Martini's, one slugs closer to .466, the othe .468.
Thanks again. I'll get back when I get it figured out.. :idea:

Erik at http://www.hollowpointmold.com/ will open up driving bands from a 45-70 design and even add a band to make the nose bore ride.Good fellow with fair prices and fast service.
