In praise of the Lee 105 gr. SWC .358 mould

[Ben]

I have this mold too, bought it to save lead. Thankfully it turned out to be a good shooter too. My old Colt Trooper loves it and it accurate too. It will dispatch a armadillo easily also . Good shootin’ Ben and use Ben’s Red & BLL all the time. I made 2 quarts of BLL 7-8 years ago, haven’t touched the second one yet. I do shake it up about once a month. If I need more I still have 4 cans of Johnson wax left

GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!
That Johnson's liquid wax would bring a premium now.
But as you're well aware you are way ahead of the game to keep it.

Well, there's a friendly face I've not seen in a while! Maybe I've just missed the threads you've been posting in, but I've been wondering where a couple "Well-Known-Members" I've not seen in a while have been. Either way, it's nice to see you again!

How many PMs have you gotten since making this post - trying to talk you out of a couple cans of that JPW?

I'll have to give that a try.... these are pretty accurate loaded this way.... if I could get better accuracy that way, it's worth experimenting.
