    RD 265 or 434421 .44 Caliber Molds

    Being that NOE is having a mold sale and that I have a few Ruger revolvers in 44 caliber(a handi rifle too), that I should pick up another mold. Which one would you pick between the Ranch Dog 265 gr or the 434421 245 gr. Keith type swc for an all around revolver bullet?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    As much as I like all of the RD designs I'd say that if you're loading the 44 and don't have a 421 mould you should definitely order one.

    The 434-421 is a must-have for any 44 revolver owner. One of these plus Unique practically spells 44 Special. (If you substitute 2400 for Unique, it spells 44 Magnum).

    The RD might be my most accurate boolit. I don't TL, use Felix on them. They will do 1-1/4" at 100 if I rest good.
    I used the old 429421 long ago and liked it.
    Both is what you want anyway!
