I am trying to find a good heavy GC 300 to 325 gr mold for my 444 microgroove. I have done a lot of searching but it seems like all the good ones are no longer available. The Mountain mold (Glen Fryxell 300 gr. and 325 gr. bullet) for the 444 sounded great but no longer available. RD is gone, NOE is all sold out, Accurate molds hasn't responded to my email. If anyone has a copy of the Fryxell diagram and /or knows of a good outfit that cuts molds, and also has a telephone, please share.
Thanks
Mike

I would look for an SSK/NEI 310 or 330 gr mold, I think Tom @ Accurate Molds already has the SSK 44 bullet designs.

I have one of the old NEI JD Jones SSK molds, I think it throws a 310 gr .429 bullet. I'm not sure if I ever used it or not, but I probably did. Not sure what it's worth, but I had my wrist fused and can't shoot the big bores anymore.

I had Tom at Accurate molds copy my ssk mold, adding more crimping grooves for both revolver and lever action rifle. The top groove is needed in a Winchester 444. He has it in plain base & gas check. https://www.accuratemolds.com/bullet_detail.php?bullet=43-335G If you have a slow twist barrel, the velocity has to get up around 1850 fps then it's accurate.

I have a LBT .432-350-LFN/GC that casts about 370gr with my alloy. It is too heavy for my needs and I’d let it go for what I have into it if interested.

If Mik1 doesn't take the LBT .432-350-LFN/GC
I would be interested in it.
