A very handy and useful resource ! Thank you to all who contributed .
Keep your powder dry and watch your six !!
Valuable information, Thank you.
Oddly, I prefer Lee, Single cavity molds... that is how i started... and do Not feel like Changing... tho I do own a couple 2 cavity ones...
Anyway... seems Lee "recycled" numbers from the single cavity molds to "newer ones".. causing me much confusion...
Someplace I think there is a numbers list that shows the old single cavity mold numbers..and I would much appreciate that Info...
Thanks Much in Advance!!!
The group buys don't appear to have the buys from the last 10 years. The NOE 429421 and the MP #503 clone are not there. That was the early days for both companies. I don't think MP lists half the molds he has made.

Does anyone have scans of old Lee mold lists from say the 80's ? there are quite a few molds not on the current list and the "specials" that midsouth sells. I recently picked up a used 6 gang TL 314-85-WC. I assume this is probably 30 years old? Also the 6.5 mm, 7mm and 8 mm midsouth molds aren't part of regular catalogs. I have a Lee 90486 numbered mold which I understand is a 429 214 SWC HP mold. The old Lyman mold catalogs are a great resource and was wondering if there was old Lee catalogs scans floating around?
Lee changed numbers like underwear. It is best to refer to a lee mold by weight and caliber as you have done. Further refiners would be TL, and nose profile. I think the 314 wc was dropped in the 90's.
