I also use it for 12g, 6.5x55, .308, .303 british, 7.62x54r :) I get it from the skeet club for $20/lb so i've worked up cast loads for just about everything with it :)

Just wondering what your pet loads are for this mold. Just got one and cooked up a quick 250 boolits, and don't know what to load.
I've done a little searching and found that getting them to...

I've spent the last month over at my dads smelting wheel weights in to ingots and getting ready to cast. Using a lee 10lb pot, and i've got about 80 lbs of ingots and another 250lbs of wheelweights...

Recently ordered a lee mould. It's the 160 grain tumble lube .312 one for 7.62x39. I was hoping to use it to cast for my Enfield. Pretty sure it should work, as the barrel slugs at .312.
