Have a Marlin 336cb in 38-55 and thinking of ordering a mold from Accurate molds.
Looking at 38-250B or 38-250D
What do you guy and gals think?
Anybody have any real world experience with either design
Does one fit the leades and throat better on the Marlins
Haven't cast the chamber yet
Just thought I'd field the question and get some feedback up front
Groove dia seems to be .3805
Any feedback is appreciated
Thanks

I cast ww+2% with the Lee 250 gr mold. I get .381-.382 diameters. Accurate. I've used this bullet loaded in WW brass with 2400 to take deer and turkey.

You won't go wrong with Accurate Molds they are great and those boolits shoot very good choice.
I use the 38-250D and have been extremely pleased with the results. As Flint said, you can't go wrong with one of Tom's molds.
Anybody know if the Lee 379-250-RF works well in this rifle? I think one of those cruisin' along at 1600 fps would be just dandy.
I have the same rifle and use the Lee 379-250-rf for most of my shooting and hunting. For a cheap boolit mold, it works great. When made of 50/50 ww/pure lead, they drop at about .380" and 260 grains. I size them to .379" and push them with 9 to 10 grains of Unique. I really wish I could get the Lee in a 6 cavity mold.
