    New 686+

    Thanks to all of you that gave a review of the 686. I picked my new 686+ with a 6" barrel this afternoon. Looking forward to shooting tomorrow.
    I read another thread about the Lee 358-158-RF bullet (I missed that one when I ordered the other 3 158 grainers) I liked the looks of the bullet and ordered the 6 cavity mold and handles.
    Thanks again.

    Congratulations! Don’t forget a range report.
    Due to the price of primers, warning shots will no longer be given!

    Will do hope to use the new mold to get the bullets.

    I generally load a 125 grain plated bullet over 4 grains of clays powder.

    I envy you, I just cast up a bunch of 358421’s and the nose barely squeaks by the barrel. The 686 is the best gun for this boolit
