Lee Loader

In closeouts, Lee has a bunch of designs "coming soon". I notice that some of are my design; the TLC460-350-RF, TLC432-265-RF, and TLC359-190-RF. Given the price of the molds, I wonder if they are returns? I don't have any of my records anymore, but I do know that I sent a couple of orders back because of dimension cuts. Hmmm, the price is going to be right.

Two sample runs ready to go test once the cold wind lets up a bit; the difference in them being the hollow base filler. One set is hot glue filled and the other, Plastic Wood. The hulls were loaded with the Load-All II, I used the press set the 12S3 wad, nitro card, and slug. The X12X gas seal in the priming chamber is still making an awesome and effective stop for folding the star crimp.

I saw a .357 and a .45 mold I would like to try but I already have several for both and things are tough with the holidays coming up.

It would be nice if they offered a bit more info about the designs. I noticed that the picture is of the selected mold. Text on the picture giving lengths; overall and then one of the three measurements used on their Cast Bullet Dimensions PDF for their cataloged designs (always felt this ought to be in their catalog).

• CG = Distance from the crimp groove to the nose of the bullet.
• DR = Distance from bullet nose to the top edge of the first driving ring.
• LG = Distance from the nose of the bullet to the first lube ring.

Dang RD I I have a poop ton of molds and never thought about any of those dimensions.

Oh my, how do you know if it is going to fit your application?

That why I have so many mold that don't get use anymore. It's also why I like powder coating. Adding the extra width returned a few back into action.
