I had forgot that I was down to one old single cavity 429241 until today when I was loading some cast bullets and noticed that I am running low of 44 bullets.
It’s one from the dark days at Lyman with the thin front driving band and rounded grease groove. The two holer that I used to make bullets for years was the more authentic style with the thick driving bands, square grease groove, and bigger meplat.
Surfing the web for a replacement and I’m thinking Lyman will be down the list of preference. I’ve had much better luck with 32 and 38 molds from RCBS lately.
I need a two cavity and prefer cast iron though I might consider aluminum if you guys convince me. Not interested in any heavyweights or anything tumble lube. Just a good shooting plain base 240-260ish SWC.
The vast majority of them will be shot at steel but they’ll also be used for deer, elk, and pigs.
What do you guys recommend?
