Hi all,
Can anyone point me in the direction of a 2 or 6 cavity "Truncated" mold for 158gr .358 ?
I've got a 158gr .358 Lee RNFP but I would like to know who makes a mold for truncated cone 158gr?
Anyone?
Regards
John

Have a double cavity 358 mold. Ideal #358429
It's one of the best designs...being very close to the original Elmer Keith specification...

I would look for a 4 cavity saeco mould. They are most excellent but not cheap.
I would also look out for a 4 cavity Lyman mould.
Worth having a look on ebay.com.
You could get accurate moulds to make you one. Very good quality but not cheap.
MP moulds would also be very good as he is in Europe but he has sod all in stock.
He has a nice looking 140gn TC type bullet in 6 cavity for $99 and it takes Lee handles.

A bit pricy but thats the bullet profile I'm after. I think its the same mold as the "GM Hard cast bullets"

Put yourself down for this group buy - more suited to your needs but probably a long wait!
