    or the same boolit design with the crimp groove about .020 to .040 back to make the nose a tad longer, (have to do some measuring and thinkin first). -snip-
    The bullet as is barely seats short enough to function smoothly in a Marlin 1894C. Don't mess with success.

    Like I said above WHATEVER IT TAKES TO FILL THIS THING TO 25 MOLDS .


    Gotta have me a heavy lead 6 banger, especially after shooting boolits from Jeffs mold. He offered to loan it to me, which was mighty kind of him (thank you), but I want my own, cause if something should happen I would feel like a great big turd. More than likely nothing would, but I have a knack for breakin things....Just lucky that way I guess.

    Them boolits worked really good in my MGM 357 max, bipod wearing,hand held encore, almost a rifle, pistol. So maybe I shouldn't mess with success...

    Plus to be quite honest I was utterly amazed at the uniformity of them boolits from a 6 cavity mold made by lee. This was my first experience with a lee 6 and I was highly impressed with the moulded fruits of Jeffs labor,

    ................I'd take a 6 holer, conventional type (design shown), non TL.

    count me in

    I'll take a 6-holer on this one too. The johnch design looks real good. Should work in my .35 rem and my .357 blackhawk. I've been looking for a heavier design than the standard 158 grain to work in both applications. This one with the gas check ought to do it. I would have nothing against the 2 crimp groove design. That way would work well in both applications.

    one more thing

    I forgot to mention, I like the .360 dia. option too. Can always size them down.

    Same with a Rossi M92. Another vote for "DMWS." This is a very good bullet for lever actions using Lil'Gun, if anybody's sitting on the fence.
