I am considering purchasing a mold for my Contender super 14, ruger 99 and ruger 96 all in .44mag. I found Accuratemolds.com to be one of the more reputable companies.
Tom seems to be very knowledgeable and particular about his product. He is a very busy man and i dont want to flood him with a bunch of newbie questions all at once.
Of course I would like a single 5 cavity mold to serve all my .44 firearms, but dont know if that is realistic or not. I am all about hunting and plinking accuracy. As I told him I am not aware of a way for me to accurately measure all 3 bores to his standards.
As i understand it I can pick a .430 and error to the plus side or minus side .001-.002.
Are sizer dies necessay and if so, how do i fugure out what I need. Not to mention gas check dia. This is just new to me and a little overwhelming at first.
I also have an option to score 200# lead that was from a shut down pulp mill in my area. I have no idea of the alloy. They appear to be about 2 x 6 x 14" bricks.
I do reload already and have calipers for o.d. And i.d.
Any help is much appreciated.
