    WTB - Ranch Dog .25 - 80gr mold or sample boolits ( 25-20 wcf )

    I am still looking for this mold - Dog Ranch .25-80gr - Tumble Lube Version ( i think they call them Micro Band lube grooves )( 25-20wcf - I think these may have cast at .260 or .261 ) I believe Lee produced the original. If not the mold, then some sample boolits would be helpful in perhaps finding someone who could gin up a mold. Thanks for look'n

    NOE makes the "RD" .25 80g copy but is currently out of stock.

    Thanks, but I don't believe that's a Ranch Dog design. That says RF, not "RD" - The Ranch Dog version produced a tumble lube bullet

    Says RD in the description if you scroll down.nothing magic about micrgrooves to tumble lube. If it's the shape you want that's your only option.

    Yep, You are right. And the one I have seen pictures of are a tumble lube variant. Leaves me with a question now?

    Well, I'll keep my eyes peeled for you - I have often wondered if Lee kept the tooling for those molds. They have gotten so weird lately that I am reluctant to even ask

    I have the NOE mould and would be happy to
    send you some. Mine drop at .261 and are both
    GC and PB.

    I fixed up a friends Savage 340 and sighted
    in with Trail Boss and got dime sized groups
    at 50 yds with the PB.

    Let me know if ya want 'em !

    IIRC, an old Savage bolt gun in 25-20.
    Wrong model number ?

    Thank you for the offer - I am looking for the tumble lube version of that mold that Lee made. Apologies for not being clearer about that in my original post
