Which mould are you giving serious thought to buying next.
What will you be using this bullet in ? ?

Looking at a lighter bullet for the Win 94 In 375 Win. The 375449 shoots well but is awful heavy and gives more recoil than I prefer when shot over 1500 fps.

Lots of discussion with Tom will happen first, he seems to have a fair bit of experience with this cartridge.

I'm still trying to get around to using the molds I have.
I have a 41 mold that I have cast a few hundred boolits from but haven't picked through just yet.
the brass is still in the bag and the powder is on the shelf.
and an accurate mold I think I cast with but don't remember where I put the boolits from the session.
I need to find them and check the rifle they are for.

today would have been a good day to get some shooting done it was 1-2F outside but no wind.
[shaking my head]
i'll get there, I'm going through all of my rifle brass slowly prepping and priming it.

I talked to Brad about that mold some before and if I get another one that will probably be it.
I need a lighter one for the Winchester but also need one that doubles for the 375 magnum revolver.

probably that storm that just went through here.
3 straight days of snow then it cleared off this morning, it's gonna get cold now.
we ended up with about 30-33"s here in the highlands, down in Pocatello they got maybe 10-12".

I am leaning towards another/different 41 mag design. I need to either get the cylinder lapped or do it myself.
Been under the weather for the past few days, re reading my notes and articles on the 32HR/327 federal. After doing some looking, I am lacking in the 100-115grain department for the 32's...........
This would be for a neglected S7 that needs played with when the weather straightens up.

Creeker, if I was gonna get another 30 cal mould that one would be high on the list. I should have gotten in on the HM2 version but like an idiot I didn't.

I would like to try a mid-heavy in .358 Winchester. been shooting and hunting with the 3589 for years and it is a great bullet, but a 230 of good design would maybe let me move the velocity up a bit. Plus I like working up loads for new bullets.

If I sold 15 moulds I wouldn't have many left to use!

the rcbs 32-098 [rnfp] has covered a lot of my stuff in that range.
it is my go to mold for the 30 carbine revolver right now shooting it as a 32-20..

I need to find 80> < gr .260 for a Roberts . This is in a 95 Mauser with an AB bbl . It shoots a 100 gr Game King at 2800 fps 5 in a penny @ 100 .

I need to locate 110gr .279 .
This is for a 6.8 Rem , I'll probably have to do a custom 1 off for this . Utility black rifle shooting .

285-180 a SIL design would be ideal .
7x6.8 Carcano , 8.5 twist , it should make a a fine hog/white tail whacker .

accurate has one for the 6.8
the rcbs 168 would be closer to 180 but the 145 generally shoots better, I'd want a lot flatter nose design for hunting though.
unless you plan on shooting them through the hams and out the throat.

HAH! Got another Holy Grail the other day! RD TLC359-190! Makes my second RD - I started buying them AFTER Mike quit making them! But my next one is prob a Lee 6c 358-158GC for the 357 Smith. When I bought the latest RD mold, it is coming with GCs and I already have about 1500, so figure might as well go ahead and get the GC mold for the 357 (which I thought I would never do... oh well!)
