    I'd have to say that in pure production numbers, the 175grTC boolit for a .40 S&W from a 6-holer and the 230grRN for the .45Auto from a 4-holer would most likely. For the "fun gun" the several 210grSWCs(with their cousins, the 200grSWCHP in the same molds) for the .41s would be the winner.
    I got a GBmold a bit ago, a 4-holer, for a boolit that comes from a speedloader into my M58 S&W for rapid-fire competition, but I haven't cast a lot with it yet. I'll wait 'til I have settled on a load, for production.
    Welcome to the addiction.
    Have fun,
    Gene

    I would love to have the amount of lead that I've cast and sent down range since 1970. I started with the 38/357 then quickly added other calibers as follows, 45ACP, 41Mag, 44Spec/Mag, 45Colt, 30Herrett, 40S&W, and 9mm. I keep a Dillon 650 busy loading for myself, son, and a couple of grand kids. Lead is getting hard to find these days and only have 3 five gallon buckets of WW's on hand. Forgot the Ruger 30Carbine, cast for that as well.

    How's that hope and change working for you?

    22 Hornet, 223
    6.5mm Ugalde, 6.5mm TCU, 6.5 BR
    7mm TCU, 7BR
    32-20
    30 Carbine
    30 BR, 308 win
    30-30
    35 Cal - 38 & 357
    41 Mag
    44 Special, 44 Mag
    45 ACP, 45 Colt

    Which one gets used the most is always switching around but the 357 Mag would nearly always be at or near the top, of late the 308 Win has been sending quite a few down range. The 30 Carbine Ruger is my newest revolver and has been getting a lot of use, what this gun with a 130 gr HP does to a ground squirrel is simply amazing.
