Custom 45 cal Lee mould

Post by Chickenthief »

So i got a Marlin 1895 Cowboy in 45-70
So i got adhesive capsulitis
So i need a light bullet to shoot
So i got no money for a custom mould
So i got bored
So i made this

A 459-405-HB with a new flatbase pin

Of course it is wise to know that a bullet mould is "reverse" to a bullet. That makes the basepin fit better ;)

Image

I made the mod reverseable by grinding the riveted part down and drilled for a screw.

Easy peasy (if you have the right tools and only two thumbs)

Now i just need to load this 268grain bullet up and shoot some to see if it is something to venture further with.

I like the reversible part, gives you two molds in one. Well done.
