I have a Siamese Mauser Sporter in 45-70.
I have really enjoyed the rifle.
So far, I've shot 350 gr. and 405 gr. V , Accurate cast at .460" dia. with great success.
Out of curiosity, I've wanted to try the Lee .459", 500 gr. , 3 R, plain base.
I tried to order one from Titan about 8-9 months ago with zero luck. I received a bad mould and had to send it back to Lee for a credit.
I found this one and ordered it a few days ago. A single cavity that has been used very little. The dia. of a cast bullet from this mould is about .4605" with my alloy. I'm sizing to .460". I'm barely shinning up the sides of the bullet when running it through my sizing die.
I'll be testing these soon ? ? ?
Anyone with load data suggestions ? ?
