I have a handful of MP molds and almost all of them have been excellent with the exception of one. It is a gas check .44 Larsen mold and like yours the shank is to big making the bullets useless for...

I agree about the “Classic” label that S&W tries to push. Just leave it at a dash number and call it good.

I use the Redding for .475 Linebaugh, works great.

I have this mold as well. It is a very good performer.
Thank you for the heads up but yeh, unfortunately I missed out.
I would like to see 32-20 available, or at least on backorder.
You would be rolling the dice a little bit. My Winchester’s bore slugged at .309 and I was fortunate enough that the Lee cast at .311 with my alloy which allowed me to size to .310.
I have this 170 grain Lee mold that my Winchester likes.

I have never tried CFE but HP-38 and Universal are all that I use for light .44 loads. I typically use .44mag brass downloaded to .44spl loads but HP-38 also works very well with .44spl brass.
I have the XRing for .410 to reload for my Bond Arms derringer. It does exactly what it’s suppose to do, I have no complaints.

The Lee pots are good to go. I don’t have a PID which would make temp control nice, I just use a lead thermometer I got from Rotometal’s that has served me well.
I am a fan but I don’t have one yet. I am set up to reload for .500 and already have a couple hundred rounds ready to go for when I finally get one. I also have the Lee 440 grain mold that you...

The only thing I run through my Winchester 30-30 are my cast 150 and 170 grain bullets. The 150’s are just over 2300 fps using Leverevolution powder, I haven’t noticed any leading worth mentioning.
Buds had this “blemished” model King Cobra on sale that I couldn't pass up.

I have four MP molds, two of them are hollow point. I think they are outstanding and they get to you pretty quick.
My last mold from Arsenal was almost 2 years ago and I remember the turn around was in the neighborhood of 6 weeks. After 7 weeks I sent Jared an email to make sure that my order was still on his...
Arsenal and Accurate are not who you order from if you don’t have the patience to wait a couple of months for a mold. They are however, well worth the wait if you want top of the line customized...
I really enjoy the Alaskan in .44mag for the same reason as the vast majority of my guns, simply because I like it, no reason to have them other than the fact than I enjoy them. If the .454 has your...
I have been lucky, I have a dozen Lee molds and they all cast as well as my high dollar molds.
