44cal Ranch Dog Group Buy starts now

[no34570]

Hi Guy's
Just reading the posts and I am interested in the Ranchdog bullet
I'd like to get one,but one problem!
I live in Australia,is that a problem(Come on no jokes there)
I'd have to get a International money order ??? How much for freight?
I've been talking too Ranchdog on Shooters Forum about the Marlin I'm buying,yeah I have not got it yet,a brand new 444 Marlin 22 inch(With the Ballard Rifling)I can't wait to get me rifle,just hope the mould will fit the bore?
Or do you think I should wait until I get my rifle and slug the bore???
Any help would be appreciated

Hey #3, the $56.00 U.S. funds covers everything ! This mold size of .432 " will be perfect for the Marlin. The triple 4 has become a favorite big bore levergun for me. It is inherently accurate, and easy to load for. Currently I shoot a LBT 330 gr LFN at about 2200 fps, and am getting between 1-1.5 " for three shots at 100 yds. So send that check, so we can get our molds. You won't be sorry. Hope this helps some, mate................ Jeff

#3, better ask the honcho about shipping, I bet it will be more. When I sent molds to canada, it was more.

PM or email me your shipping address so that I can figure out what it takes to send you the mold. Six cavity molds are shipped without handles and you would be best served with a Lee Lube and Size kit special ordered in .432" to help seat the gas checks. Let me know if you will need these as I'm sure Lee DOESN'T do overseas. I'm sure we can get it figured out to get you what you need. It would be kind of cool having this bullet doing it's work down under!

Got another fellow in Sweden interested, I think he said he has taken 40 moose with his 444! Time to get this bullet out of his gun too!

I got the money order today and its sealed in the envelope. Will be going out first thing Moday mornin from 47270

[jeff223]

im going to the post office tomorrow with a Lee 6 holer mold and im going to have it weighed in a box for shipping out of the country so you in Sweden and the fellow down under can have a mold.i will post the shipping cost to Sweden and Australia on Monday or Tuesday

hope this helps you guys out some

this deakl might be over before we know it.its going to pass the Beartooth mold deal i think.

#3, sorry for any confusion on shipping charges. The ole brain misfired, and thou it registered your being from down under, it didn't pick up on the possibility of extra shipping charges. Guess my enthusiasm for the mold overpowered my common sense. This will be a dandy mold !

Jeff223, sorry if I overstepped my boundaries. Didn't mean to intentionally. The enthusiasm just triggered a brain malfunction on my part. Thanks, Jeff

Jeff I'll be sending a Postal MOD on Fri. the 17th from V0J3A0......mic

Just a reminder guys...

When this group buy closes, might be soon, you might want to contact Lee to special order a Lube and Size Kit in .432". This will be the easiest way to insert your gas checks. Some of you might have the tools to turn the cataloged .430" kit out but I didn't mess with it as I needed a die in that diameter also for a friends pistol that I reload. The L&S Kits come pretty quick but it will still take a few weeks.

When you call Lee for the L&S Kit, please ask them to catalog the L&S Kit in this diameter and also catalog the TLC432-285-RF. It would be nice if they started cataloging TLC rifle molds designed for cartridges that can put them to real world use (leverguns). They will take phone orders with a credit card for the Lube and Size Kit... 262-673-3075.

You will also need gas checks and Boses have about the best prices I've found on them. I just bought the last box MidwayUSA had in stock, sorry, but I was buying other items. Boses' checks are $23 vs. MidwayUSA's $29! That starts paying the difference in the L&S Kit!

$50.00 for the mold
$18.00 for the handles from lee
$14.00 air to Sweden (5-7 day shipping time)
$82.00 total for mold and handles

************************************************** ******

$50.00 for the mold

Noob question-

Would standard .44 Hornady checks seated in my Lyman 450 .430 dies do the job? Or would the sizing destroy the lube grooves so they wouldn't hold the tumble lube?

Anybody have the answer to this question?

Yes, the .430 die will do just fine. There'll still be plenty of groove left.
