According to Midway the Lee Magnum Melter is made in USA, and if I add a PID there won't be a 2 to 3 hour shutdown process, so I guess I'll just wait on that to be in stock again.

I ordered a new mold as mentioned in the title. Anyone have experience pushing that boolit with 296 vs unique? Shooting it in a henry lever gun.

So far it isn't looking good for me to be able to keep my dogs.... has me in a pretty bad mood. I hate home insurance companies even more than I hate anti gunners right now....

I know it is not what you asked but I believe your best bet would be to pc that boolit. I pc mine and shoot them at 357 velocities from a 6 inch gp100 around 1500 fps published data.
