I use the Lee Load Manual 2nd edition. The mould I will be using for my bullets is a Lee 450gr mould. Yet in the Lee load book, they don't even give data for that bullet. For Lever rifles, it jumps from 405gr to 475gr. I'll prob work basing loads on data for the 475gr bullet. My alloy runs a little heavy anyway, I make bullet for my 500 S&W using the 440gr mould and they average around 450-454gr each. Bullets for my CZ82 9x18, from a 95gr mould they average around 101-103gr ea. Anyway, just wondering why a company the makes moulds wouldn't have data in their load manual even close to that bullet weight.

Just a WAG but maybe the mold came out after the manual.

Lees data that he has published is not "Lees data" . It is data taken from the powder companies.
