will run some next week or so and let you know.

Mine will be WW sweetened with a bit of Lino to see if I can shoot it out of my CZ 82.

I just ran a batch with WW and just a touch of Linotype. Mine dropped at 96 gr and .367 to .368 diameter. I have only weighed and measured about 10, but they look good to me.

I cast a bunch, dropped at .367" to .369", 96 to 97 grains. Hope to load some tonight and shoot them tomorrow.

There is a problem with at least some of the molds being cut off center.

I posted info on the group buy thread after I spoke with Pat at Lee.

I spoke to Pat at Lee today and they are going to replace the entire group buy.

I posted additional info on the closed group buy thread.

What is the whole scoop here.

Looking half way seriously at it today for the first time, mine seems to be centered, but IF Lee is going to redo the whole batch, then maybe I should send it in.

Is the competition, press, and issues with molds making Lee more responsive to problems and delays.

To help answer my own question:

Does anyone have one of the 6 cavity .366 9X18 molds they want to sell?
Lee just is not friendly about helping me with one (…Any of our previous custom mold orders we do not have information or supply of…). Have the Lee round nose version, and I made a .366 swage to make the LEE RN more like the 45 Long Colt Flat Tip, Round Nose.
Looking for a faster casting design. All the casting and swaging is cutting into my shooting time.
