    I 'm small time big time.
    RCBS 358-200 rnfp
    Lee C309-150fp
    Lee 358-150 swc
    I have several others but these three get the most use.

    Well, that explains it. Even a 41 Long Colt (with the OD of the bullet quite a bit smaller than the bore size of the barrel) is as accurate as most semiautos (or bottomfeeding tickencrunchers as someone once said).

    Lots and lots of .45 Colt stuff for my sixguns. I almost never shoot the .357s or .44s anymore. I'm a cowboy action man now.
    KE4GWE - - - - - - Colt 1860, it just feels right.

    Nope, that's the heeled boolit sized to .401. Fits perfectly.

    There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!

    I have always liked RCBS molds and most of my casting is for 9mm, 38/357, 44 and 45. I've slowly been replacing these with H&G molds in the same calibers. These are a joy to cast with.

    Of late it's been a selection of
    458193 Lyman
    462-420 HB/PB M-P
    Overall ,
    It's probably a toss for
    452-255 or 200 RNFP
    454424 NOE or Lyman
    279-124
    225-55 NOEs
    358-125 or 158 Lee
    With side trips in binges to
    Assorted 25,26 ,28, 30,32 and 40 cal
    Assorted 36,44,45 and 50 cal RB

    The bulk of my casting is in NOE , Lyman and, Lee , while Mountain Moulds , RCBS , M-P and Cramer bring up the rear ......... For actual volume Lyman and Lee should probably switch places .
    For tonnage the M-P should be right behind Lyman as a per session average .

    Two Lyman 429421 four cavity moulds were my most used hands down. This was my best selling bullet & at one point my personal most shot bullet.

    Now days the Saeco/Redding #928 but one of my 45s is catching up.

    I shoot most of my volume in 40/10mm so a 5 cav NOE 180 RF gets a lot of attention. Followed by an LBT 402-200-WFN, my best casting mold.

    Then an RCBS 38-150-SWC. That is a sweet mold second only to maybe the LBT in ease of casting

    I have two many irons in the fire, but the ones i have used this year the most
    1. MP 359-640L hp 4 cav
    2. MP 314-640 100 grain HP 4 cav
    3. Lyman 358-311 4 cav
    4. RCBS 44-250 KT 2 cav
    5. Ranch Dog 314-75
    6. RCBS 32-98 SWC (NOE 5 cav clone)

    Thinking back, I am dismayed that I have not cast any Rifle caliber boolits this year. I must be slipping.
