I know this isn't the first time this has been brought up. We have the Lee conical mold which is a great design. The Kaido bullet design is another option. Both are good for hunting but waste a lot of lead for range shooting. I did like the Buffalo 190 grain swagged bullets, somewhat expensive compared to round balls and casting your own. They are also not making them anymore. I have a special Rapine hollow base mold (454160). I can get them to cast larger then 454 but it's not easy, temperature regulation, distance from the pot spout, etc all come into play. It also has the necessary notched base to get the bullet started, as most of the molds above do have. This type of base is a must to get any accuracy out of a conical in the ROA.
What would be ideal is a bullet mold that cast similar bullets to the Buffalo swagged design. Instead of having the swagged crisscross hatching to hold the lube, we could have a couple of grease grooves. Of course their are those that would say "just shoot round balls". But I must admit to being a victim of wanting a conical bullet but one that is lighter then the current offerings. Anyone know if NEI or some other off brand name makes such a mold?
