I don’t think 90 bucks has anything to do with it, I think it’s about making shit work that ain’t supposed too. I mean if we, and I mean casters and handloaders in general are tinkerers by default, if you don’t like tinkering with this or that it’s the wrong hobby, In my opinion anyway. Either way I’ve got molds that have yet to cast a bullet because it is a project I have down the line. So another mold or two doesn’t matter to me much in the grand scheme of things, but to the fella who has other expenses and is trying to get by, a 2 cavity Lee mold may be all they are able to afford, and out of necessity need it too work. I mean look around and see if you find any factory ammo.
Either way, if you have the time and means, why not make a custom sizing die to perfectly fit a bullet to your rifle? Makes perfect sense to me.
As far as the original post is concerned from all accounts that RCBS 7mm-145 SIL is one hell of a bullet for everyone that gives it a chance. It is actually going to be used in my little 7mm-08 project I’ve got on hold due to I have very little brass on hand. Gave all my 7-08 away a few years back before I had one of my own. But I have a couple hundred checked and coated and ready for there final sizing. Which speaking of, they should be aged out good right about now. May need to find some brass. Time to do a good cleaning and a pound cast.
Oh the list just gets longer.
