Interest in TLC460-425-RF

[45 2.1]

Yes it is the 350. Below are the 350 & the 425 as close to your specs as possible. The previous 350 had a few modifications. See which one you like.

I like them both!! The first drawing of the "350" had 6 bands vs. the 5 of this drawing. What changes were made to the spacing?

The first 350 had the gas check shank, the rear band and the nose shortened slightly to get that extra groove in. The groove width and band spacing are the same on both 350s.

Thanks... looks real good.

Here is the 425 gr. boolit with modified tumble lube grooves.

Will the length of this bullet fit the Lee 6 cavity blocks? I sure am hoping for the 6 hole version.

Good question... This is from the Lee FAQ's:

Maximum bullet mold dimensions for standard mold blocks; (all dimensions in inches) single cavity, .580 dia. 1.250 length; double cavity, .685* dia. .900 length; six cavity, .520 dia. 1.000 length; *for single cavity mold in double cavity blocks, like our slug mold. For two cavities in the double cavity blocks, max. diameter is .600 inch

The TLC460-425-RF is 1.04" in length. Lee made double cavity molds for me in the first order, note the length limit for those (.9"). I think they can do it but will check with Lee tomorrow.

1.04" is really no problem.

That's what I think 45. I didn't get a call into Lee today... to busy on the Rancho. Here is a prime candidate for a TLC460-460-RF penetration test!

This old boy is visiting one of my protein feeders about every two hours from dusk to dawn. He bumps the legs which causes the feed to fall out. The feeder has protein pellets and peas in it.

I'll take either a 2 or 6 cavity mold, but would prefer the 6. If I don't send money when it's money time, will someone give me a reminder?
Thanks

Looks good, but I will only go for a 2 cavity.
The one Lee 6 hole I have is for sale, I just do not like more than 2 hole molds.
When would a 2 hole .433+, 300gr + - gas check be on the table?
That and a 250gr, same size, are my missing links.

I would be in for a 6 holer.

I like that 425 grainer! When do we start up the votes for a 6-hole with a gas check?

Come to think of it, I like the 350 grainer as well!

With a RD GB we won't need to vote on the 2 vs. 6, I will run a group buy on both as soon as the buy closes on the 350-grain boolit. I see the need for both depending on a guys shooting and casting needs. I prefer the 2-cavity and won't need to order any as I already have 4 molds in that design. I might order a 6-cavity just to have it but with a severed/repaired rotator cuff on my casting sholder, casting that big of boolit starts to wear pretty quick with a 1/3# per throw!

Rd;
My problem, too, left shoulder had a complete rebuild, right has bad arthritis and a torn bicep, 6 holers are just painful to use.
A 240-260gr, ctl, rf in .433+ would be nice, too.
My Handi barrel is typical Marlin, micro groove and .431" groove.
Requires a hard , that is, water cooled gas check to keep from keyholing at anything past 25yds.
I just reamed it out to .445SM, should get to shoot it nextweek and see how it does at 1600-2000fps.

I do not have any bodily repairs , but the two holers seem to me to be easier to work with then the 6 holers

Ok... you asked for it...
