What Boolit Design Would You Like To See Lee Precision Make A Mold For ??

[castalott]

How about some of the existing designs, but without the lube grooves for the people who powdercoat?

great minds think alike....A truncated cone .45 of ~200 grains with no lube groove . 40 grain plain base .225 or .228. A .310 and/or a .314 85 to 100 grain (all no groove bullets and 6 cavity) I don't powdercoat anymore for low velocity as Ben's BLL works well.

If I might humbly request....add .001 to .002 to the diameters. I would rather size down to what I need...

Thank You, Dale

I would like to see the 310gr RF for the 44mag in a plain base and sized .432 or .433 so they an be sized to fit. Also to be design to use WW alloy

EASY! Offer ALL the Ranch Dog mold designs as factory standard offerings in both 2 and 6 cavity options. I THINK that Mike has allowed this. He OBVIOUSLY would need to. But imho, IF Lee were to make these factory offerings they would not be able to keep them in stock!!!

Very much second, third, or forth this one. And it would help if pretty much all the molds were cut a little fatter. Most Lee molds tend to drop skinny bullets.

Special ww2 k98k mauser mold.

I'd go for some .303 Lee Enfield/.30-40 Krag designs in 6 cavity... say a copy of the 311299/314299 (200 gr.)- with a hollow point option- and also that same profile in say 150 or 160 gr., maybe 180 gr. and 220 gr.- and in diameters to 0.316"- and GC/PB optionsIf diameters started at 0.310"/0.311" then 0.313", 0.316" they would suit a variety of milsurps and other standard .30 cal. guns.It is a proven design in 200 gr. and I am sure it would sell. I have to think the shorter and longer versions would be good too.Another on the wish list would be a collar button style mould for .44 at 0.434". I suppose others might want .452" and .458"/.460" to suit handguns and rifles.Oooo! Oooo! And another... Multi cavity round ball moulds in 0.600", 0.662" and 0.678".Longbow

Plus 1 on the fat .30's for worn bore mil-surplus heck even some not worn Enfields want a little more meat than the .312 mold will provide.

Plain base offering(s) of a couple of the more popular rifle designs in 30 cal and 303B. Don't always want to load to full power so PB is fine for plinking. Or powder coating. I think PC is gaining in popularity and it would be worth having a PB rifle offering that supported that or traditional and TL.

Would not mind an additional TL friendly GC design for 357 and 44 mag because sometimes one does want full power. Partial personally to SWC and RFN which will feed lever guns tubular magazines or revolvers well. Like the PB versions having a GC version would be nice option.

I would like to see their 30 caliber molds drop at .311 to .312, a flat nose like the RCBS 30-180-FN in a six cavity would be great. Also, as long as I am wishing, a 7mm flat nose mold around 180 grains.

[1989toddm]

I wish they would bring back the .44 200 gr full wadcutter. I would love to carry something like that in my .44 Bulldog.

I would love to own one of these also!

[Green Monster]

Id have to agree with the hollow point existing design idea. Or maybe even a kit to make your own with different tips/cavity depths&widths

[murf6656]

140 grn.+ 6.5 FN
200 grn.+ .314 FN
200 grn.+ 8mm FN
250 grn.+ .352 FN
250 grn.+ .360 FN

I don't know if any of these would be big sellers for LEE, but I'd love to have a cheap 2 cavity in all these.

[leadman]

I had the time tonight so I wrote down all of the requests and will be sending these on to Andy Lee soon, along with my new mold that drops small.

[Lonegun1894]

Thank you. I'm really curious what comes of this. No matter what, it'll be nice to have more options.

Go to Midsouth Shooters and pickup their LEE 8mm Karabiner mold if you are looking for a 200gr+ 8mm FN mold (actually 215gr)
http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.co...roduction-Mold

140 grn.+ 6.5 FN
200 grn.+ .314 FN
200 grn.+ 8mm FN
250 grn.+ .352 FN
250 grn.+ .360 FN

I don't know if any of these would be big sellers for LEE, but I'd love to have a cheap 2 cavity in all these.

[Hickok]

How about some Keith designs done by Lee.

Gets my vote. And do them the way Elmer designed them.

I also like the 358-158-RNFP design, and would like to see a .44 cal version at about 250-260 gr with WW metal, and a big wide meplat like the 358 version has.

[newrib]

I would like to see Lee make a 2 cavity .310 Cadet mold and a 1 or 2 cavity 450/577 Martini Henry MKIV grease groove mold.

That would get my vote.

I also would not mind seeing...

- 70+gr version of their new C225-55-RF that drops .226" (6+ cavities are nice with such small boolits)

-300gr-400gr Gas Check 45-70 designs that drop at least .459"

- Ranch Dog Designs in 6 cavity that drop at least .001" larger than the past molds Lee cut

Thanks,that 8mm mold looks perfect. The 170 grn 6.5 mold looked pretty tempting to until I started reading up on it in the forum.

+1 for a Bulldog bullet!

NOE does quite a few RD designs, if there's enough interest he'll do others.

I agree. I love pouring memorials to Uncle Elmer.
Another mould I'd like to see is a 6-cav mould for a TL RN 380 boolit, say around 100grs.

[JeffinNZ]

I would like to see Lee make a 2 cavity .310 Cadet mold and a 1 or 2 cavity 450/577 Martini Henry MKIV grease groove mold.

They had a crack at a .310 mould and dies for an Australian importer many years ago and got it horribly wrong all round.

Too little demand for either. You have to remember that Lee need mainstream so anything too oddball or that will create only a little interest is of no use to them.
