A one-off 316-299 single brass mold. Drops out at ~224gr from range scrap and WW's. Works great for my SMLE!

The M28-76, the NOE 311331, and my long but fun search to match the accuracy(target in pic) of an old can of Hercules Unique I was given. An unusual Mosin with unusually good accuracy.

38-55 from my new Lyman 375248CV they drop @.3765 no need to size them! They weigh 245 vs the 249 as it is supposed to weigh! Might be a little hard, but if they shoot as well as the cast I'll be happy!

.........A bit of a casting backstory about me, I started out using "good stuff" 17 years ago. At that time Lee molds were "****", I bought a couple of them just to prove everyone wrong.........'turns out most people were right, Lee's were ****.
Fast forward to today's Lee, with there "new" pin design...........They are still pretty far from the "best" stuff out there, but the new stuff doesn't all the way suck anymore.........Oh, and I've also probably gotten better at casting.......I'm quite certain I sucked when I first started.

Lee 45/70 .458 bullet

The design looks better than it actually shoots.
