Last August I picked up a 5.5” ruger blackhawk In 44 special. Given the current situation I got the only in stock mold for a 44 bullet I could find, the lee 200gn rnfp. It’s been a great bullet so far but now I’m looking for something heavier to mess with.
When you start researching Keith Bullets you quickly realize how much difference there is from one mold maker to the next. I think I have narrowed it down to a few ( in no particular order)that are as close to Elmers original design. Having trouble deciding so I figured I’d post here and tap into the hive mind of THR.
1) http://arsenalmolds.com/44-Keith-Bullet
The noe 429421 Keith. I like that is has the option to have 50/50 PB and GC ( no intention of using checks in the revolver but could be useful should I get a rifle in 44)
2) http://arsenalmolds.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=138
Noe clone of h&g #503
3) https://www.mp-molds.com/product/mp-432-256-pb-hp-4-cav/
Mp clone if h&g 503 with HP options. Seems like it could be the “one mold to rule them all” as I’m interested in casting hollowpoints but not sure I’d ever really use them.
I think I couldn’t go wrong with any of these just curious about the experience of others.
thanks
