    just ordered lee TL 175gr semiwad 401

    I just ordered my 401 175gr TL semiwadcutter 2 cavity mold and a bottle of Lee liquid alox lube from midsouth. Any idea how long it will take to ship to Oregon?
    I cant wait to get started making boolits. Any good tips for prepping the mold? I plan to use a pot on a coleman stove with a laddle. Whaddaya think ? I wont be sizing, just lube, load and shoot. yeehaa!

    Lee 401

    I have this mold, the boolits work good in my glock and my s&w 99. I used rooster jacket lube on mine and used the lee push thru sizer.401. I used 4.9 231 and 5. bullseye with good results. I get my midsouth orders pretty quick here in okla. Bill

    Mine casts and shoots well. No problems feeding through several different .40's

    I'll be shooting the Glock23. I'm just finishing up a box of 500 Hornady 180gr cast boolets. They shot great with 2.3 gr bullseye at about 800fps. I plan to use the same economical load with my homemade boolits of water-dropped ww alloy. I hit pop cans everytime at 25 yards in the sitting position.

    My G34 with Lone Wolf barrel does not like that boolit profile... I went to the Lee 175gr lswc with single lube groove and had more reliable feeding. The 175gr TL has a sharp shoulder that I believe is catching in the chamber. Too bad because I like TL boolits...
