Similar to my 45/70, I intend to shoot cast bullet loads in the .348 at less than full power by a a fair bit. I would be happiest with a mold that dropped a bullet of 200-220 grains and would prefer a flat point design. If anyone has something they would be willing to sell, please pm me. Otherwise any recommendations are welcome. Thank you. If you can't be a good example, may you at least serve as a dreadful warning

I looked at their offerings for the .348 WCF and found they have 7 versions designed specifically for that chambering, 220-grains to 300-grains bullet weights in clip-on wheel weight alloy. I'll get one or more of these when I get around to it, they all look good to me: Ron aka "Rip" for Riflecrank Internationale Permanente NRA Life Benefactor and Beneficiary .458 Winchester Magnum, Magnanimous in Victory THE WALKING DEAD does so remind me of Democrap voters.

Others may be as good but none are better IMO. "You can lead a man to logic, but you cannot make him think." Joe Harz "Always certain, often right." Keith McCafferty

Sizing to .349 fits the gas checks well but I have not tested side by side for accuracy. I would like to find some Hornaday checks as they may snap on better. If anyone needs a new sizer the NOE system is pretty slick. If you can't be a good example, may you at least serve as a dreadful warning
