400 gr. RCBS SWC, if you can find one.

Not sure of availability right now but the Mihec 477-640 in Cramer style with blank and large HP pins will pretty much cover the world of hunting with the .480 imho


your results may vary

I have a lee 400 grain that shoots nice but the shallow lube grooves seem to run out of lube and lead the last 2 inches of barrel a little, I'm going to try powder coating them to fix that problem, I also have a unobtanium lee group buy 6 cavity that drops a 380 grain gas check bullet with big lube grooves that works awesome!

I made my own mold but have the Lee 400 too. .475, not .480 and barrel is 7-1/2".
I use Felix lube and never had any leading. I have other TL boolit molds but I never TL.
I WD, WW boolits, my own boolit is also PB and near a WFN style.
Believe me, a .475 or .480 needs nothing else.

Lee 400gr boolit mold is a cheap intro and good shooting for some. I've got an Accurate mold that drops 385gr ish boolits from the mold right at .478" which spot on for my Ruger.

If you want a few drop me a IM and I'll send ya some.

I have the Mihec 477-640 and the NOE 480-375-RF. Both drop at 388 grains with my alloy. I need to further test the 477-640 but the 480-375-RF shoots really well in my Bisley. 480-375-RF is pb while the 477-640 is checked. I got lucky before the last rerun for the Mihec mold in that he had one left over from the original run. Wish it was pb but at the time I took what I could get.
