I love the original Elmer Keith SWC design, and wanted to make bigger piles of them.
IIRC, in his book Sixguns, he stated that Ideal(lyman) changed his design,.... of 3 equal driving full diameter driving bands, and H&G's 503 was his true design. flat base, less lead in the case, more out front, to make room for 2400 goodness.
this is an excellent book for revolver guys...

Searching around, I found ARSENAL MOLDS makes a classic H&G #503 clone, and in a 5 cavity :-D

I emailed them asking about time to get one shipped and got a quick reply, the 5 cav was in stock and ready to ship
I went for it, got the tracking number the same day, and soon had a nicely made mold that drops large amounts of prefect elmer Kieth bullets.
Very happy with this mold. ( I'm not affiliated with them, just a happy customer )
