Well, I have an rcbs 200gr mold that might be the ticket for the .357 in the future. I am going to get a Lee 310 44 mold and mill off the shank portion where the gas check seats. This should get the weight down to 275gr or so. That should be the ticket in the 44spl. Will do the same thing with the 300gr .452 for a 45lc. I will let everyone know what the weights end up being and will offer a service to mill the gas check portion off to make a lighter plain base bullet or ream that section to make a heavier plain base bullet.
I own the Lee 310 (and the Lee version of the RCBS 35 cal 200). I may be interested in both of the milled versions of the 310 in 44 cal from you.
Since I've begun powder coating, I find less and less use for gas checks. The most accurate 357 loads that I plink with shoot the Lee 125 fp (which casts at 130 in my alloy) water quenched and powder coated at full 357 pressure and speed.
