Lee 38 mold

Does Lee make a tumble lube wadcutter for a 38 special that would work good for a 4 in Smith?

I use the Lee 148g double end wadcutter tumble lube 6 cavity mold. Load them over 3g of bullseye and shoot them out of a model 66 with a 4 inch bbl. Good accuracy and no leading. My guess would be they go about 750 to 800 fps. I lubed them with the 45-45-10 mixture. I recently started playing around with powder coating and will be testing those soon. For the money I'd get the 6 cavity over the 2. You can cast alot of boolits fast with the 6 holer. I use an alloy of COWW with 2% tin.

I like the 148 grain TL molds from Lee Precision. Got a couple of them.

Dyes anybody use just that plain Lee alox lube or do you all use your own special blend.

I use straight LLA for 38 spl, 40 S&W and 45ACP and haven't had any problem with leading.

LLA works fine and is easy to use. It does tho gum up the seating die and can gum up the mag in the gun. Making the 45-45-10 lube is easy and it works good. Not tacky and less smoke as well. One can buy it already mixed from LsStuff (sponser) for not much. Around $15 bucks or so. It dries faster also so you can load'em sooner.

Diluted alox.

It is too thick for my liking full strength. It leaves to boolits gummy IMHO.
