Lee 200 grain round nose flat point
« on: October 27, 2008, 03:29:41 PM »
Has anyone used a Lee 200 grain round nose flat point in .44 (.430 ) size?  I have a drawert full of molds, and many of them are Lee.  The two best shooting bullets I have for my 44 mags are a Lee 240 grain swc gc, and a 310 grain round nose Flat point.  The metpalt is to small for me on the 240, and the #10 doesn't have enough velocity for a combat load without a lot of recoil.  I have some nice mild loads for it, but The speed is a little slow.  I wouldn't mind using the 240, but it is gas checked, and as I say, has a Small metplat.  The 200 grain might be ideal, if the metplat was big enough, and it was an accurate bullet.

I have the Lee 200 RF in 44.  6 cavity.  I tried it with blackpowder and it is not meant for it.  The bullets cast well.  The mold has not been altered--no sprue bolt set screw and no sprue cam anti-wear screw.

thnaks, LLoyd.  I had hoped to find a lighter, flat point bullt.  I guss i will just stick to a 240-250 grain keith.  I have always had fair to good accuracy with them, and they will do the job a 100-1100 feet persecond without too muck recoil.
