Yep. I shoot them as cast from Lyman #2 alloy, double dipped in liquid alox.

yes and I single lube with LLA and it gave good accuracy in my gun ...not as good as the Ranch Dog 420gr but close!

I don't have that o e but I do gave and use lee's 405 hollow points , and a dose of 3031 from what I gathered lee dicontinued the mold but they will make a special order mold since they still have the specs, for a small nomianal fee of 115.00 plus shipping, well I'll keep what I got.

LEE did make HP mold's in the past, 405 I believe.
I still have mine, but casting one at a time got old after I picked up my first LEE 6 cavity.

I bought a 405HB Lee mould a long time ago, for my TD Springer. Then I went and sold the rifle

I also thought this would be a good ML boolit, sized down a bit and seated backwards for a HPWC type effect. Close range deep boolit!

Now I have a couple H&R Handi's with MG to try it in.
