Both my 58 caliber molds are LEE molds. What's different about a LEE mold compared to a RCBS or LYMAN other than its made of aluminum?

2F Goex in my Hawken, Triple 7 2F loose in my in-lines.
I tried Blackhorn 209 but for the cost it's not worth it. It also attracts moisture rather quickly.
I also shoot this bullet in a 357 Maximum, 357 Herrett, & 350 Rem. Mag with superb accuracy.
In my 350 Magnum when running the bullet at 1650 fps it shoots one hole groups at 50 yards.
In my 12...
This bullet design sized to .360 shoots very well in Marlin micro-grooved rifles. Ramshot Tac or H4895 have been my go to powders for my Marlin 336C in 35 Rem. Good bullet for whitetail deer when...

Hi David:
You can use this ammo in the barrel you inquired about. It would be more accurate with a faster twist barrel like the .54 LRH 1:28 :)

If so, does it come with a GREEN instruction tag like the 1:70 round ball barrels?
Can you post a picture of it?

Are the wedge pins for the Lyman GPH on opposite sides of the forearm? My T/C Hawken only has one wedge pin.

You did an excellent job on the gun. Thanks for the pictures.
