I got an Accurate 36-125D that is my favorite with a speedloader. The TC is long enough so if you get it close it'll drop right in place. The TC slopes to just shy of the crimp groove. It's got a...

PC and HiTek are another tool in the box. No more, no less. If your mold casts small both coatings might get you up to the size you need. If your getting into casting you can save some money from...
