LBT, 30 cal., 180 gr.

[Ben]

I just traded for this one.
Will arrive in a few days.
Owner said that it cast at .311"
Reminds me a bit of the Lyman 31141.

Nice!
I've not owned an LBT but am intrigued by their sprue plate design. Would save me a little fancy dribbling as I try to run all my sprue puddles together. Helps fill out my bases and big sprues are easier to pick up with gloves.

 

[Ben]

It is different , isn't it.

Veral explains the philosophy and function of virtually every aspect of his mould design in his book.

 

[Ben]

I have a few 30 cal rifles that shoot the 31141 pretty well. This one may have found a good home.

[Hawk]

I have several of his molds and wfn designs in Pistol calibers. They're all a dream to cast with and extremely accurate.

Veral explains the philosophy and function of virtually every aspect of his mould design in his book.

And I still have no excuse for not having that book. I need to correct that.

Ben, ANY mould would have found a good home at your place. Plenty of moulds of fine character to associate with there.

 

[Wasalmonslayer]

This mold does cast like a dream!
I can vouch for it personally

 

[Ben]

 

[Ben]

Thanks Max,

[fiver]

I don't think your gonna really find too much in common with the 041 other than they are both 30 caliber.

 

[Ian]

Exactly.

 

[Ben]

Do you guys plan on revealing anything at this point in time ? ?

 

[fiver]

nope we'll wait for the targets.
actually I'm kind of jealous, that will be a fine target mold and do double duty in the field.

 

[Ben]

Ah, now we're getting somewhere.
You had me worried for a minute there............
Thought that maybe I'd bought an Edsel ?

Ben

 

[Brad]

Ben, I think they are referring to the 041 as the Edsel. You got a Cadillac.

 

[fiver]

well,,, you'll be more thinking the 041 is the Edsel here in a little while.

 

[fiver]

Brad snuck one in on me,, usually it's Ian doing that.

 

[Ben]

This is sounding better all the time.......

 

[Brad]

Just be careful Ben, that bullet might just beg to go faster than you usually shoot them.
Crank that one to 2000 FPS, maybe even 2200, and you have a good deer killer. No HP needed.
