I just picked up a T/C Hawken stone sparked in .45.
Then lo and behold i find out after the purchase that LEE has discontinued the .440 RB mold. :uhoh:
Anyone know of a source for this mold ?
New or used ?

On the sublect of said gun...what's the R.E.A.L. bullet i saw advertised ?

Are you sure it's discontinued?

**EDIT**
It's still available on Lee's site too. I think you've been misinformed by the internetz.

FS reloading says they have 3 in stock.
Make sure you change your shipping method to the cheapest available. It defaults to UPS ground which gets pricey.

"Rifling Engraved At Loading (REAL)
The driving bands are large enough to adequately engage the rifling when pushed into the muzzle, and thin enough to withstand maximum charges without stripping or gas cutting."
Some folks like em, some not.

You might try Midsouth Shooters, out of Tennessee, they seem pretty reputable, and they don't make any money off their shipping. I noted on their 2012 catalogue that they have the .440 roundball mold for $19.95 for a double dip. I've got one and it works really well.;) Fact is I just got it and the shipping is really fast. Less than a week.

Thanx Colonel. I never knew about Grafs.
I hadn't looked on line any wheres other than Amazon.
It was a local gun store that told me , after calls to two distributors,that they were informed that that item number had been discontinued.
Maybe i missunderstood and that pertained only to thier inventory.
