    gang molds

    Is anyone making decent quality gang molds like the old Hensley & Gibbs 8 & 10 cavity molds of the past????

    The 4 cavities that I'm using now are really becoming a PITA.

    Thanx in advance.

    Rick,

    I would avoid the use of Red Dot powder for anything other than very light target loads in revolvers.

    Stick to 2400, H110, 296, 4227, 1680, 4198 etc for your rifle loads.
