HP moulds

[JustJim]

At some point, Lee produced HP moulds. In about 1992 or so, I had one for the 41 mag. It wasn't earth-shaking in accuracy or performance, but it cast a decent bullet (and I suspect if I had known more about alloys for HPs at the time, I'd have been perfectly satisfied with it).

But that is the only Lee HP mould I've ever seen in person. Does anyone know the approximate vintage of production, and what calibers were offered?

Thanks,
Jim

No Idea how Old...I'd Guess 70's? But I have One in .357 Works pretty well in .38Special...

i also have the 357 version. i like it but its a single cav which gets tedious sometimes

Thanks for the responses guys. Is the mould for the 38/357 cut for a gas check or plain based?

I need to take the time to hit the stack of old Gun Digests and see if there is mention of the HP moulds.

mine is Plain Base

I'm really surprised that Lee doesn't have any HP molds in their lineup. I've got more than twenty of their molds, and although some cast a bit better than others, every one drops great bullets that are extremely accurate.
