300 gr .430 mold

[wheezengeezer]

a buddy and i are looking for a new mold.we will be shooting both a sbh and a redhawk.to make it brief,we want a 300 gr "keith".we prefer the oal to be as long as practical.gascheck is unwanted,full dia forward driving band ,wide lube groove/s ,and wide flat nose preferred.a web address will be enough. who makes what we want?

Look at Ballisticast. They make a 320 grain Keith from the old H & G line. Think the number is H & G #328 but the numbers cross over with the Ballisticast prefix. It's a PB.

I have one and it's a monster of a SWC. Designed by old Elmer when he was miffed at Lyman for changing the 429421. About all you'll want with a stiff shot of WW296.

The #326 weighing in at 275 grains is also a great shooter in my SBHs./beagle

i wish that ballisti-cast would up grade thier mold catalog . the one the got now is ugly and hard to follow along with.

Think that's the one. They use a 9 prefix instead of a 3 like H & G did. Mine runs pretty heavy./beagle

I use Lyman #429650, its a 300 grain GC, kind of a cross between a Keith and a Ray Thompson design.
Find it very accurate and hits like a brick.
Shoots great out of my Redhawk with a good dose of H110.

I have a Lyman 429649 (358 gr lubed) I plain based with a drill press. Shoots good for me. It's a discontinued Lyman #, but they turn up occasionally

i know there is a zillion molds out there but a keith is what i been shootin for a buncha years and the ballisticast looks to be what i want.150 bucks is a bit much,but i got grandkids!

You might also consider the RCBS 300 SWC.
It is a gas check mould as it comes from the factory but that can be changed in a few mintutes by a good machinest, ( I know first hand) Started using this one for elk hunting and then my partner's eyes got back so we quit elk hunting.

If you want some samples of this one in a plain base version drop me a email.
