    Checking out the MP mold website, I don't find any WFN aka RFN boolits. I'd go for an aluminum .360 (that I could size to .358) 8 cavity in 150 gr. & I'd think a 170gr. would be great also.

    The 150 would be ideal for the compact .38 spec revolvers such as the Ruger LCR & the 170 would be just right for the single actions & full size revolvers.

    I would love to see a machine mold HP in a standard caliber at a decent price.

    Something like $200 for the complete mold.
    That is a $60 savings

    Thanks for bringing me down to earth.

    I'd settle for a 150 gr. version of his 162RF in a 5 cavity.......that size & shape would appeal to the CAS (I'm not one) + the small SD revolver guys (and for me .....good low recoil loads for my daughters to knock over IHMSA chickens @ 20-25 yds.).

    Here is what I feel would be the most true to the Elmer Keith designs for a 32 caliber. This would be great in 327 federal (will not fit single seven), and 32 h&r mag, as well as being able to be sized down for 30 caliber rifles. There are a number of other SWC designs, but most are too light, and all have a short nose.

    I would be interested in a "pointy" 500 mold similar to the one from MP molds. Seem as this one has dry docked. Also, one for the 6.5 Grendel in the 95- 100 grn. range.

    Arsenal could cut the mold but he does not offer hollow point designs.
