Folks,
what other molds do we as a family need to add all, of these are Lee and I am looking to add some iron molds to our diet?
we feed SKS's, mosin-nagants, 30-06 bolts and garands, 308 bolt and semi, 25-06, 9mm, 45 acp, 44 mag rifle and pistol,357mag/38 rifle and pistol, 380acp and various shotguns 12,16,20 and of course muzzleloaders Smokeless and traditional
for 9mm and 38/357 and 380 all of these cast @.359
358-140gr SWC
358-158gr RF (LBt style)
356-120gr-TC
for 44Mag
c430-310-RF (LBT style) casts @ .4315
45 ACP
452-230 grain TC
smokeless ML
c452-300 RF (LBT) sized to .451
for 500s&w and 54 cal ML sabot and papaer patched in the 50 cal ML
c501-440-RF (LBT) mold has had the gas check removed and is now around 460 grains
30 cal rifles
c309-150 grain-F casts@311
C309-170 grain-F casts @ 311
c311-155 grain 2R casts @ 313 (shoots great in everything we have.....)
c312-185 grain 2R drops @ 314
for bore sized conicals in 50 cal ML
515-500-F 500 grain sized down to .5025
shoot great in fast twist ML and kills like lightning!
.310 round ball used as gallery/small game load in 30 cal rifles and buckshot shot gun loads
1oz and 7/8 slug molds for 12ga
what I think we need to add
need a Heavy 25 cal mold for the 25-06(have not seen a Lee in this caliber)
a lighter 380 acp mold, a lighter 44 cal for plinking and small game possibly a round ball .430?
and a way to make #4 or #6 shot
i need ideas on Roundball sizes for 12, 16, 20
Looking for suggestions or ideas
Thanks
