Wonder what's everyone's opinion is on the Lyman 427666 mold?
I've been using the 42798 since I was a teen in my 44-40's and for the most part have had real good results. Most of the time loaded with bp.
But now I would like to upgrade to a boolit with a crimp groove. Going to attempt some smokeless loads this year.
Wanted some real folk input on it. Seems the online reviews are "meh" biased based for sales.
it works fine for me. I still like the 427098 better though.
Rule #1 - Never pass up a good excuse to buy another boolit mould .
I need / would like to try a boolit with a crimp groove ...(great Excuse)
427666 is a nice looking Round Flat nose ... perfect for that lever gun that might fall into your lap ! ... (another good excuse )
It might just be the most accurate boolit you ever shot in your gun(s)
If I had a 44-40 ... I would get it and test it because it looks like it would be a "shooter" ... and you never can tell unless you shoot it .
So I say ... Upgrade ... Buy It !

I use the 427666 and 427098 in a 1866 44-40 lever gun.
It's my understanding that the 427666 is an Ideal copy of the original used when the round was developed in the late 19th century.
I would jump on that mold if I were you.
