    4 cavity $100
    6 cavity $125

    I will offer a PB version for an additional $10 if cut in the same mold.

    I am also offering this as a 45 caliber option, it will be a scaled up version of the shown design but weigh close to 325 gr

    I will not combine different calibers in the same blocks

    44 Cal diameters:

    .432
    .434

    45 Cal diameters:

    .452
    .454
    .460

    A.C.E. Co.
    Josh, sure would like to also get this in a .454 that actually weighed 300 or less with WWs.

    I have a number of "300gr" molds that cast as hi as 325. Big gap between 265 & 315+.

    If you can get me LFN between 290-300max I would take a 4 cavity 2GC & 2PB or 2 of the $55s, one each, in addition to the .460 already ordered. (same thing on that one have "325" molds but all cast heavier)

    Thanks
    Tom

    Josh,

    Sent PM. Hope you had a grand holiday! Looking at the .454 or .452, after you respond to PM on actual sizing as they fall out. Need to decide on PB or GC. GC prices for .45 would help.

    Thanks

    I put you down for a .454 like I pm'd you about. I sell .45 checks for $24 per 1000 shipped. But if you order checks with the mold I am doing $1 off. Just post here when you decide to get PB or GC.
    Thanks!

    Tom,

    This design is an improved Lee copy with better crimp grooves and GC shank. It will weigh in at 314 gr at the .434 listed diameter and will most likely be in the 320 range when you get into the .454 diameter.

    I need to get some of these buys out of the way before I add another, my cherry maker is backed up.

    Joshua

    I've never dealt with a 444 marlin, but I think that this would work for it, due to it having 2 crimp grooves to adjust OAL.

    .432 will take a .44 check and the .460 is a .45 check.

    OK, then. I'll also take checks for both. 500 ea if you'll do that small a number, 1000 ea if not.

    Ok, Joshua,

    454 on your sayso... My .452 RCBS is dropping WW at .455-456+... and a bear to size those that are the largest dia...

    Make it a GC with 1K checks at you joint order price.

    Never did this so instruct on payment time line and process...

    Here's a question for anyone who knows...

    What handles go on these dies Josh makes??? Seems that might be important for a first time buyer...

    ?? I have a LEE 6 cavity .38 mold I don't use...so if I read right, I can purge the handles from that and am set to go?

    Is that $10 extra to remove one or both gascheck shanks on a 2 cavity mold? The reason I ask is that I have a PB .44 checkmaker, but not a standard .44 checkmaker.
    I passed my last psych eval, how bout you?

    Yes, according to Josh himself.

    And my proofreader is fired, by the way, for all of the spelling errors in my last post.

    CD,

    You made my day!!!

    I read that over and over and tried to guess what that word was supposed to be... and I KNEW it could not mean "handles with these included"---not at this group buy price!

    Josh shot me a PM telling me the 6 banger handles I have will fit...

    With so many out of work, I hate to see your spell checker fired!

    Ok to extrapolate further, what will the .460 weigh with WWs? As I said I "need" one that will stay at or under 325gr.
    THanks

    Please cancel my order on the .460, I went a different route.

    Still in for the .432 and 1k checks.
