Re: Lee Bullet Molds
Yup, it's a lot easier to size down than lapping a mold. The 170 FP for the .30-30 could be a little bigger as well as the .457 molds for .45-70. I do have a 405 gr .459 that seems to drop close to .459 but the 340 grain 45 bullet drops at .456 but after lapping it gets to .457 but no more.

Re: Lee Bullet Molds
It is a Midsouth Shooter Supply design: 8mm Max. Given the fact that these molds are instock at Midsouth, I would be inclined to purchase from them as those at Lee have probably been rejected by Midsouth.Zippidydoodah wrote:Does anyone have info on lee 8mm max bullet?

Re: Lee Bullet Molds
I received it on Saturday and it appears to be your Ranch Dog design I purchased in a6 cavity mold only this is 2 cavity old style blocks. I could find no specs on it but it appears to be .340 dia, gas check with a wide meplat. About 240 grain. Should be good shooter in 338win mag.Ranch Dog wrote:It is a Midsouth Shooter Supply design: 8mm Max.

Re: Lee Bullet Molds
Not a Ranch Dog, never did anything other that a 170-grain 32 Win Spl bullet.Zippidydoodah wrote:I received it on Saturday and it appears to be your Ranch Dog design I purchased in a6 cavity mold only this is 2 cavity old style blocks.

Re: Lee Bullet Molds
I saw the 8mm max in mid south shooters finally. My lee price was the same but shiiping was probably more. Have a good selection of 8mm' Bollits for the military rifles now plus Lyman 323466 loverin

Re: Lee Bullet Molds
I hope it's a good 8mm Mauser mold because I bought one:
But of course I have yet to even shoot those yet as my time off is all vastly absorbed for months to come still.
