I just purchased a Winchester Lee and want to use cast bullets.
Who makes an appropriate mold for this rifle.
Thanks

I’ve used the Ideal 244203 (65 gr, in the mould I found) and the 245477 Loverin gas-check, nominally 93 gr.
The plain-base Kephart 244203 was the original design made for the Winchester-Lee, but that was decades before the proliferation of 6mm rifles we have now. I would say for the Lee, any 6mm design should work, the longer the better.
RCBS has the best one I’ve used it’s 96/97 Grns . I’ve got one from NOE that I haven’t even poured into yet spose to be 105-106 grns I think . Depends on what kind of twist you have and also what you want to do with it.
