I like the Lee idea of having the gas check end milled off. I have the Lee 44 305g that I've been wanting to have the gas check end milked off of too. I just need to find a guy to do it and send him both. I've long thought the Lee 305 milled down to about 270g no check would be perfect for 90% of what I do with my 44 mags. I like the wide flat nose of the Lee but don't need a check or 300 plus grains. I think a 270g at about 1100 fps would suit me well. Something similar in the 45 would be good for me too.
Thanks,
Bb
I don't know if they still offer the service, or how he managed it, but a shooting buddy ordered a 45 300 rf with the base milled off from Lee, though it was a two cavity.
I can't imagine you don't have a machine shop or someone with a mill local to you. With the six cavity mold it's as simple as removing the sprue plate and sprue plate stop from the mold, having the machinist clamp it in a vise and run a fly cutter over the face of it to take off ~0.060".
