.405 gr. Bullet mould for the .45/70

[henry1]

Hello again, next ? is... Im looking for a 405 gr bullet mould for the .45/70! Suprise suprise! Anyway, I was just on Midways site and couldnt find any for under 50 bucks!
I was thinking no more than 20$. Maybe i missed it or something but there has to be a cheeper one out there. I just want one that will do the job.

If you want less than $20, the Lee 459-405 or 457-405 would be fairly good choices. Depends on your bore, you need to slug it to see if what size bullet to shoot, should be .001" to .002" larger than the groove diameter. You'll need some handles too.

Henry,
  I bought 2 molds from Midway, a solid 405 grain mold and a hollow base 405 grain mold.  They are Lee brand and sell for less than $20 each.

Tim and roudy, Thanks a bunch, I tryed to find the swagging info in the FAQs but failed. Sorry. I appriciate your help so much!

The Lee molds come with handles

There's not much if anything on casting in the FAQs, go down to the Cast Bullet Forum for some good info, but I'm sure you'll get some more replied, lots of fellas that cast here, I used to cast a lot, but no more.

Thanks Joe, I only have Lyman and Rapine molds.

If I had your money, I'd throw mine away, Tim

Ya, but what size of weight do i use to figure out the size of the bore?
Thanks!
Hank.

Hank, I just posted a bore slugging and chamber casting thread to put in the FAQs since it's asked a lot.
