Lee mold suffix

[glicerin]

My Lee 2 cav. 90466, for the Makarov has the suffix EP. Google hasn't helped, anybody know the meaning. Thanx

You can thank Uncle Grinch for his hard work and a quick search of our forum comes up with this.

Bruce: I saw no reference to a suffix EP. It was stamped separately, possibly later-repair?

I wonder if it is a group buy somehow optimized for electroplating? I understand there was an interest in the concept of plating boolits with copper on these boards before my time but I haven't read any of the relevant threads. As far as I can gather when powder coating was discovered the electroplating concept declined rapidly.

Thanx flyingmonkey35, it works fine except a little O/S, expect my gunstore got a little extra profit.
