Hi Folks,
Recently I picked up a four-cavity mold from a fellow here. The mold is an LBT 350 gr LFN for the 45-70. I was concerned that my dipper might be insufficient for the task, but the RCBS casting ladle is just right. Yesterday I got to try the mold for the first time, and was quite surprised. The four-cavity mold produces bullets substantially faster than twice the rate of a similar two-cavity mold. In the time it usually takes to make one tub of 400 gr bullets with an LBT LFN two-cavity mold, I made three with the four-banger. As icing on the cake, there are more bullets per tub!
Take care, Tom
