I was thinking of buying the Lee .360" diameter black powder mold to use as a mold for 00 buckshot pellets. It's 36 caliber just like 00 buck. This should work shouldn't it?

It will work as buckshot, but it is a bit bigger than 00 buck.
Lee has just come out with a mold for 00 buck that casts 18 (I think it is) at a time. Now we're cookin' with gas!
Do we have any idea when that will be hitting the stores? I have yet to find it any place other than the lee site
Just looked at it on the Lee site. Looks good but a little "spendy" for my budget. Maybe it will be a little less when it hits the stores.Originally Posted by HammerMTB

Here it is at Lee's site: http://www.leeprecision.com/cgi/cata...w.html#shotgun
If you take a dog which is starving and feed him and make him prosperous, that dog will not bite you. This is the primary difference between a dog and a man.

To answer Walker's question, I have not looked for it elsewhere, but I like Graf's, and usually if it's a Lee product I don't see at Graf's, they have it or can get it, for somewhat less than the Lee price.

Thanks guys!
The following has them a little cheaper than Lee.

00 = .36?
I thought 000 = .36 00 = .33 and 0 = around .32
I'd go with the .319 mold. Fits in shot cups better. You can still call it 00 since it is within saami speck of .33+/- .015".
They can take my guns when they get past my IED's.
I bought one of the Lee buckshot molds last week. They are shipping them now, I received mine in a couple of days. Only used it once so far. Have to find the right temp/alloy to fill out. Got it to work ok, not 100%. Am convinced it will work with the right conditions.

I've been using the .310 roudnd ball mold for a few years. Works great as either buckshot or for lightweight plinking out of .30 cal rifles. Definitely interested in that new Lee mold.
+1. Nine of those in front of 28gr of Unique is a good load.

Who makes the .319 RB mould? Lee?
Group Buy Honcho for: 9x135 Slippery, 45x200 Target (H&G68), 45x230 Gov't Profile, 44x265 Keith
E-mail or PM me if you have one of the following commemorative Glocks you'd like to sell: FBI 100yr, Bell Helo, FOP Lodge1, Kiowa Warrior, SCI, and any new/unknown-to-me commemoratives.
Yes, Lee makes it. Note: many of the reloading retailers list it as a single cavity mould, but it is in fact a double cavity mould.

Yes ! 000 = .360, 00=.330 BvT
Every lawbreaker we allow into our nation, or tolerate in our citizen population leads to the further escalation of law breaking of all kinds and acceptance of evil.
Since almost all aspects of our cultural existence are LIBERAL in most states, this means that the nation is on a trajectory to dissolution by the burden of toleration and acceptance of LAWBREAKING as a norm, a trajectory back to the dark ages of history.
