    Going to break in a virgin today

    I am going to have some fun today in my hot hot garage. I am finally going to break in my virgin Ranch Dog TLC460-350-RF mold today.

    I think that stepping up from 40-45 gr IMR-4198 for some of these water quenched boolits will be a good place to start.

    Is that a gc mold? With that much powder I think I'd want one.

    Your title is very deceiving, but I figured it would be for new equipment... lol

    Yes GC mold... 350 gr boolit should be a little easier on the shoulder than the 420 gr boolits I've been using. I like the way the gas checks snap onto the shank of the new boolits... perfect fit, and crimp on tight with the lee .460 sizer. Unfortunately, I had to put off going to the range until next weekend
