    Cast about 600 Lee 358-140 6 cavity mold. Wanted to find a substitute for my 358477 single cavity mold. Can't wait to try them out.

    Came out for a coffee and a break, loaded some 9mm(105 swc) and tweeked a lee mold(1 of the cavity were sticking),going to clean and inspect a new p320 x5 legion that I traded for yesterday. Anyone have any experience with these?

    Great shooting bullet. I use them in reduced 357 mag and the wife shoots them in 38 Special. She loves the hole punch they leave in the target.

    Probably going to try and mount the 550B my buddy gave me and figure out what I'm going to do with 18lbs of Power Pistol.

    I am grateful. He's in much better health and has divested into other hobbies but I think that played a role. It's sucky having heart troubles when you're in your early 40s like he is.

    He way over bought on the powder and I'm thinking it will last me several years the way I load. Then again maybe I need to load more too.

    I found out how long this lasted. About as long as the RCBS before it did.

    How many would you say they each lasted?

    I have a little wood block I hit it against -- haven't broken a puller yet. But I've not pulled that many boolits.

    I beat mine against the heel of my anvil. Usually in frustration that I either messed up a loading or realized my ladder peaked 20 rounds before I had stopped loading for it!

    Loaded a couple boxes of 9mm on the 550. Had a few learning items on it been a long time since I've used one. It's definitely a right handed person's press but it seems to run well enough. The ammo seems to be slightly nicer looking than my LNL AP with Lee dies although that may just be me telling myself that. Loaded up some PC 135gr LRNs with 5gr power pistol. Going to see how they shoot. I probably should have done some ladders but just wasn't feeling it tbh. Also had a few cases that were loose in terms of neck sizing which I don't particularly recall on my LNL AP either. That was fairly odd IMO.

    I'm also missing the spent primer holder. It seems like it shoots them over a fairly wide area anyways but I would like to at least pretend like most of them are going to the same place. I'll have to grab one.

    Debating getting the stuff to run 243 win through it. I am fairly certain I would like the idea of doing it on this press a bit better than with my LNL AP because I feel like it's easier to monitor the powder level in the case compared to the Hornady.

    Prepped a hundred 350 Legend brass. Im still amazed how inconsistent Winchester makes this ammo. Some barely trim while others(from same box/batch) remove visible amounts.

    Remember this is from a straight walled case and straight walled cases simply DO NOT GROW LIKE BOTTLE NECKS!!!
