Yea, it's a bummer. He's a great guy to do biz with. I have a few of his molds.

The Ranch Dog .460 350GC grn and 425GC did real good.  The 350 had some daylight between the dbl cavity but I had it worked on and it did good.  Lee replaced one when he was out of business last time.  For a slow twist .44 Winchester the RD 265 does great.  The 300 grain was too heavy, but that's the gun's fault.   
Study after study has shown how dangerous distracted driving is yet people continue to talk on their cell phones while driving. Driving in the U.S. requires your full attention. Many states and countries have made it illegal to use a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle and the federal government should follow their lead. Banning the use of cell phones while driving would have the added benefit of making the no-texting law enforceable.

I'm fortunate I have 2 of his molds in .44 cal. I'm sure someone will pick up his designs, but I liked to do business with Ranch Dog...
 
I just tried to go to his website, looking for some leftovers. and the site is down "may be for sale"...

Well crap, mamma aint gonna be none too happy. Christmas is not too far out and it looks like I need to spend a lot on molds. It's hard to beat RD. You get a 6 cavity for a 2 cavity price.

He designed excellent molds and I fortunately have a few he had made for the 444 and .35Rem. He will be missed here, as well!
