      This is another lee mold that has worked great for me in 9mm and .357mag but I have worn out the mold and looking for a replacement but with slick sides for Hitek coating. Anyone else interested in a mold like this? I may be after two of these in 5 cavity if funds allow. I’m hoping someone else with the right program can draw this up for me!

        Measure the length of bullet, meplat width, and length of nose portion and I can see if I can draw it up.  With crimp groove or no?

          Okay Oal is .560, metplat is .20 and nose is .270 long roughly. Could you play with it to get it to the target weight? The one I’ve got doesn’t have a crimp groove so I think I can do without on this one. Thanks for your help again!

            Here it is–it came out a little heavier due to the extra lead from having no lube grooves.  How much did yours weigh after casting?

              The original would drop them at about 125gn. So thats pretty close considering it has no lube grooves. If we shortened the shank ever so slightly or brought the metplat in a fraction that would bring the weight back down yes? Thanks for drawing that up!

                I wouldn’t shorten it, but go for a RG style bullet. The reduction of lead to make a hollow point would be pretty nice. I might be interested in one like that.

                  I will take 2 of these in 5 cavity if it happens.

                      I want a 5 cavity aluminum  HTC .359 -120 TC. When it comes around.
