Midsouth Shooters Supply has Bator & Soup Can Molds in stock

[leadman]

I just purchased the Lee special order 55gr. Bator 22 caliber mold and it still shows in stock. The Lee 130gr 7mm Special Order Soup Can also shows in stock.
Haven't seen these in stock in awhile so buy while you can.

Thanks for the heads up. Just placed an order. I've been checking on the Bator mold since last winter. Was even on the "list" for the June delivery till I found out demand far exceeded incoming product. I checked several days ago and got the no backorders taken line.

Very nice... Thanks for the heads up as well.. I been looking for one of these, and i got a 6 banger.. But they did charge 15 bucks for shipping... Total was 52.10 shipped for a 6 banger bator... Glad to have it... Thanks again for posting....

JonB, the 2 cav was out of stock for me too... But the 6 banger is there...

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

AG,
I already have two older (and different sized) Lee 22 bator 2 cav. molds, (one is 48gr. and one is 51.5gr) and I'll be curious what their new 2 cav. block style and CNC machining will mean for the bator. I think their small size mold block for their 2 cav. works great for the tiny Bator. I worry about the large 6-cav mold for a tiny boolit, I am guessing it'll be difficult to keep the mold temp high enough for perfect boolits...just my guess from using other 22 molds that I have that are made by different manufacturers.

Compared to not too long ago, MidSouth has a lot of Lee molds in stock.

When someone gets their 22-55 mold and uses it, measure its OAL, The drawing in the site shows just over .500" as an OAL. The NOE 225 55 FN and their copy of the Saeco# 221 both measure .670-75

[AlaskanGuy]

Will do Wayne.....

I was thinking the same thing JonB... I am sure it will be a fast and furious casting session...lol... I been wanting one of these for quite a while though, and couldn't pass it up....

I remember one of the 2 cavities was in stock, but did not pay much attention as I wanted a 6 cavity. I have a 2 cavity Lyman in the 45gr RN which is a great boolit but slow to cast with.
Glad others could take advantage of these molds.

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

YAY !!!
the Bator 2 cav. molds are in stock today !!!

and I placed an order, plus some other stuff. Check out the clearance section, they have some plastic Hinged ammo boxes for 44 Mag for 78¢

[AlaskanGuy]

You dog.... Now i am gunna have to sell my 6 banger and order a 2 cav???? Now you tell me jon...

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

AG,
I told ya as soon as I knew....we're talkin by a couple of minutes.
I should have bought an extra one...trade for fish...save you their shipping fee...oh well.
Maybe that 6 cav. will work good ?

[Four-Sixty]

Thanks for the head up. Bought the 6 cav. Now what am I going to get (and when) so I can shoot the boolits cast from it?

[marlin39a]

I got an email from them on Monday. Ordered 2. I've been waiting forever for this mold to be in stock.

[leadman]

Mine is on the Fed=Ex truck for delivery to me, usually comes late afternoon.

When you guys start casting with the .22 Bator please post bullet dia. and alloy used..
Also if the bullets are out of round or not..
Any other problems such as too small or over sized gas check shank..

I would like to get the .22 Bator mold but after 14-15 group buys from them in the past I have become gun shy..
Mostly out of round but the last one (a 6 banger 7mm soupcan from Mid South) gas check shank won't hold a gas check..

Thanks
