Why on earth doesn't Lee make more rifle caliber 6-cavity molds? I'd like to get the C309-170-F in a 6 cavity. Will they make you one if you ask?

Thanks,
Pastor Curtis

They don't make the 41 cal SWC in 6 cavity molds either.
I asked 3 months ago.
I got this response, "Unless you buy 30 molds, There is a $175 setup fee"

At this point, it's cheaper to get a multi-cavity from NOE, Mihec or?

I didn't tell the whole long story in post #2 (the post you quoted).

Bottom line, I'm afraid you can't include me, I had a custom mold made...and love it.

there is and has been a guy on ebay that has a copy of the old lyman 311041 available in 6 cavity mold. He has listed them for years in both plain base and gas check. I got one and it works very well. Shootingsupply is the seller and they are about $85 with shipping . It is not me and I do not have any interest in this sellers business, but I like the mold. I did come up with a 410 diameter 210gr nominal weight wad cutter bullet in a 6 cavity mold also. I think it was a custom mold. Also, it's a long shot, but you might find one of the old ranch dog 30 cal molds floating around if you have lived a good clean life.

I would be interested in a 6 cav mold if it had..... Three different size and weight bullets. Two of each would be nice. Then I would not need so many dang molds.
