    The web site comes up for me. When i put something in the cart I get security alerts.

    Beyond that I have no info. http://www.biglube.com/ContactUs.aspx

    That is too bad. I dislike when a bullet mold supplier goes OOB. Even if I don’t use that style of boolit, it is still not good news.

    Has anyone picked up the line?

    LEE made all of the Big Lube bullets molds for many years before Dick Dastardly switched to a different supplier. Assuming LEE still does custom molds, they may be able to duplicate the molds if you give them some specs. I have most every Big Lube mold ever made, and would be willing ship you some as-cast for you to take measurements from.

    You can blame me for coming up with the big lube basic design. I did the 45 Colt 250gr version way back when and others adopted their versions. I was unaware that Dick had discontinued. I bet Lee would be happy to supply copies. If you search old posts from beloved deceased member Jack Christian AKA 44WCF you may find where he had his improved versions made. If you are a real black powder shooter, they are a blessing.

    I hate to hear they are OOB, I always wanted to get one for my Ruger Old Army, but never got a round to it. Well crud.
