What Boolit Design Would You Like To See Lee Precision Make A Mold For ??

[ukrifleman]

[QUOTE=Yodogsandman;3376849]How about a 6.5mm (.268"-.270") about 140gr or so with a big flat nose that will shoot straight. Just shorten and cut one lube groove off from the Lee 6.5 "cruise missile" and make the bore riding nose smaller (.265"). Lots of us have been trying to make that one work for years.

Here is my take on the "cruise missile". A cut down mould to throw 150gn .2695 bullets for my M91 Carcano. it will hold a 3" group at 100m if I do my part.

I second the 44 wadcutter mold idea. I'd buy one...but hopefully they would cut it to cast at least 432 so we can size it to where we need it to be.

[wrench]

I would like the 358 125RF scaled down for a 32, and make it actually cast at .315. Oh and 6 cavity.

Yes, that

And 6 banger versions of some of their rifle molds, notably the C324-175-1R. My 8mm rifles love that bullet, but the 2cav production is s-l-o-w.

[NavyVet1959]

How about a mold where there was a plug in the bottom that you could adjust to vary the length / weight of the bullet?

Just a 6 cavity 311113 soup can.

Just a 6 cavity 311113 soup can.

I want one, too!

356-153-2R six cavity. I have one but I'd get another if I could find one.

It has been my favorite LEE mold since I accidentally got it. I tried it once with .357 Mag and that was it. So easy to cast, excellent accuracy...

[bruce drake]

Oh yes!!!!

Hollow point versions of existing moulds. Make them just like the Minie moulds. They'll bolt of the shelves.

[kens]

A 300gr mold for .38 rifle (375H&H) or 38-55

YES!
And a 35 cal FN at 250+ for the Whelen and other 35's

I'll vote for this one, in both handgun and rifle calibers. I mean, who wouldn't want to varmint hunt with a .45-70 or .30-06?

Yes, this one. I much prefer Lee's six cavity molds on the basis of both quantity and quality. I feel they are significantly nicer, though the newer design of double cavity are in my opinion better than the older ones.

They could just go through and find all their best selling rifle molds, spin them out in six cavity versions, and probably make a ton of money.

I wouldn't mind a good six cavity mold for my 327 either though.

Lee could probably stand to make a heavy for caliber 32 GC bullet to fully utilize the .327 FM too.

[HABCAN]

A really good design of 6.5 mm and a few more 7mms........all in 6-cav. like that 7mm soupcan: it's a honey!
And how about 6-cavs for the .312s?????????

[longbow]

I'd go for some .303 Lee Enfield/.30-40 Krag designs in 6 cavity... say a copy of the 311299/314299 (200 gr.)- with a hollow point option- and also that same profile in say 150 or 160 gr., maybe 180 gr. and 220 gr.- and in diameters to 0.316"- and GC/PB optionsIf diameters started at 0.310"/0.311" then 0.313", 0.316" they would suit a variety of milsurps and other standard .30 cal. guns.It is a proven design in 200 gr. and I am sure it would sell. I have to think the shorter and longer versions would be good too.Another on the wish list would be a collar button style mould for .44 at 0.434". I suppose others might want .452" and .458"/.460" to suit handguns and rifles.Oooo! Oooo! And another... Multi cavity round ball moulds in 0.600", 0.662" and 0.678".Longbow

[Bullwolf]

I noticed the new Lee C358-200-RF mould.



I would enjoy seeing a somewhat shorter non GC Plain Base 180 grain RF version of that mold, that casts around .360 and drops a 170-180 grain weight boolit.

[oscarflytyer]

EASY! Offer ALL the Ranch Dog mold designs as factory standard offerings in both 2 and 6 cavity options. I THINK that Mike has allowed this. He OBVIOUSLY would need to. But imho, IF Lee were to make these factory offerings they would not be able to keep them in stock!!!

Agreed! Something that run in a 357 model 1894 marlin.

[rockrat]

Been waiting for the six cav and was going to mill off the gas check area. Much rather buy one already done! My 357mag FA would love it.

I'll vote for that

[Mk42gunner]

Several good suggestions already. I can think of three that I would like to see made, but they probably wouldn't sell enough to make it worth their while.

1. A 40-45 grain .22 cal FP for use in Hornets and such, something like the new 35-200 scaled down.

2. A .258 in a couple of weights from ~65 to ~90 grains.

3. The one that really wont sell in volume: A heeled .316" or so 90 grain for use in the .32 Long Colt.
