Gary Norsk Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 You might want to try a 6 cavity Lee. Can roll them out fast. Gary

Gary Norsk Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 That Lyman bullet looks great, but it has a bevel base and in a lyman lube sizer or RCBS the lube will build up on the bevel base and make a mess. Gary
Drover Dan, SASS #47291 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 If ya like lots o lube, check out this one. http://www.biglube.com/BulletMolds.aspx?ItemID=d29838a1-de1d-4767-9b74-192b1f1c0db4 Drover Dan
Crusty Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I'll second the vote on Dick Dastardly's Mav Dutchman, 200 gr. Big Lube mold. They work well with BP or smokeless lube. My $.02.
