    LBT Mold 258 ???

    Anyone able to tell me about this mold.
    Really I'm looking for valve and the quality.
    I cast pistol bullets only and have no interest in rifle casting at this time.
    I looked over their website but didn't really get much info.
    Thanks in advance.

    It was likely made for a .25-35 Winchester leveraction. The first three numbers are the bullet diameter. (They might drop a thousandth larger.) The second batch of numbers are the weight in grains of the castings. LFN is long flat nose and are typically used in lever actions and revolvers. The bullet would work in a .257 Roberts or .25-06 just fine if they would feed from the staggered magazine which you never know until you try it.
    LBTs are top shelf molds with wonderful casting qualities.
