Been looking around and these seem to be extremely scarce. In particular, I can't find a Lyman 338320 GC to save my life. Anyone out there have one?

I don't imagine there were ever very many of them made, as compared to .30 or .35 caliber molds.

You may be time and money ahead to get Tom at Accurate Molds to cut you a new mold.

Tom is great,I buy all my molds from him.He has numerous different styles in all calibers and lets you alter almost any dimension on them also.

Thanks, yes I've got a mold coming from Accurate. Can't wait to get it. Was hoping to also get my hands on the original Lyman as well. Was just surprised how difficult these are to locate!

I don't think I ever found a Lyman set either, but did at last locate the RCBS offering, 33-200-FN. And topped of with one each from NOE and MP, the MP being an RG4 hollow point design. I have a set of forming dies (base case the 45-70 or 40-65), loading dies and a custom Lee collet crimper.

Ben Lilly would have approved.

NOE makes a look a like of the Lyman 338320 , it is NOE's # 340-205-FN-GC
It's a dead ringer for the Lyman boolit ... www.noebulletmoulds.com

I just had an idea on how you might get a that #340-205-FN-GC NOE mould ... I did this when I wanted a 9mm 124 TC Gas Check mould ... Join and register on the NOE Forum , once you are a member , scroll down the index of headings untill you get to Inventory Runs section ...read the directions and then start a Inventory Run ...as soon as 4 other people sign on the mould will be ran . Go to other sections on that forum and this forum and tell people what you are doing ...may be more people want this mould than you think !
I didn't think anyone on earth but me wanted a gas checked 9mm mould ... but within a week the mould had 5 buyers and I sent my money in and you get a Discount to boot ... that was how I got my first NOE mould , a 4 cavity ...they are some sweet let me add .
It's sorta of Mini-Group Buy of a design already in the computer .
