6mm molds
« on: April 22, 2009, 02:02:26 AM »
Veral, as jacketed bullets go through the roof in price and avalability is questionable, I am going to start up casting for 6mm in the future.
6-223, 6TCU will be the most used case, though a 6BR , 6PPC and a 243 may see limited use. The first two will be used for IHMSA 1/2 size, the last three will be more for casual practice and some case fire forming.
In the 223 parent cased wildcats I have been using 70-80 grain jacketed with excellent results. I have yet to slug throats and muzzle to determine a correct size on these as I have enough jacketed ammo to finish out the '09 season.
Thanks for any input
Jeff

  Slug all your guns and send LBT the slugs with a mold order.  I'll measure all the throat slugs and make the heaviest bullet that will work in all of them.  Diameter will be large enough for the largest gun, and I'll write sizing recommendations for all the others, if special sizing is required.  The one bullet will shoot very well in all the guns, with the exception that if I see a flawed throat (for cast use) I'll let you know.

  Our website is           LBTMoulds.com              You can email be directly from that site if you have any special questions about 6MM or any other caliber.
