I have a 44 caliber wide flat nose gas check mold LBT mold for sale. It's stamped .429 250 grain but with my alloy which is similar to linotype it casts bullets with a diameter of .432. Mold is in excellent shape and only selling it because I have a mold that casts bullets of a similar weight.
$100.00 shipped
Thank you.

Just had occasion to deal with RCBS customer service and was truly impressed.
I have a set of 50-90 dies and the expander plug is to big. After speaking to the rep he measured several he had there and after determining what he had was to big he said he would polish one down to the diameter I needed and send it out no charge. Haven't experienced that level of service in quite some time.

I also have a LabRadar and am extremely happy with it. No wires, lighting doesn’t matter and sets up in a matter of minutes. Only negative for me is it doesn’t read much over 3800 fps so it doesn’t work with my 17 Remington, 204 Ruger, etc

I also buy my powder from "Smoke" and have been very happy with him and his product.
Once I jumped into powder coating I've never looked back. Enjoy the process and love the end product. I can highly recommend it. Haven't got into color coding yet but probably will at some point. For now I'm just having fun trying different colors.

I have a Freedom Arms 224-327. If it helps you out I can send you a couple cases.

Tried 15 grains of HS-6 and 10 shots averaged 944 fps with an extreme spread of 18 and a standard deviation of 5.9.

The well respected guide who shoot the bear with a 9mm was asked, " If you knew you were going to run into that bear would you have taken something else?" His answer was, " Hell yes, a different trail!"

I hike quite a bit in grizzly country and have wrestled with that same question. The bottom line is I currently carry a Glock Model 20 10mm with 200 grain FP FMJ's in a Guide D holster most of the time. Occasionally I can be found with a 45 Colt or one of the Linebaugh's. Hopefully I'll never find out if I choose wisely!

That is NICE. Sure wish they still made those or they were at least affordable enough to customize. There are an aweful lot of possibilities as to what can be done.

I don't think a 375 grain will do anything you can't do just as well with a 350 grain. I also topped out at 340 grains and never saw the need for anything heavier.

Most all of my LBT molds are 2 cavity and I agree with you. However if you run 2-3 molds at a time those two cavities can pile up bullets fairly quickly.
