Veral do you have any stock molds for a 458 caliber in LFN? 400 to 450gr.

 I probably do, but won't bother to look, because I have a very short backlog right now, and prefer to cut just exactly what each customer wants.  - So I  tend to leave my in stock molds as a bank account for my lady should I turn up missing from action.  Perhaps you know we have lived in a war zone for the last 7-8 years, with no let up in sight.  If you don't know enough about my recent battle for that statement to  make sense, forget the statement.

Veral I am well aware of that incident. I had received a set of molds not long before it happened. I need a bullet of 450 to 500gr probably GC to hedge my bets. It will be used in the 458 Socom, subsonic velocities for the most part. Curious on the LFN versus the WFN the barrel is 1in18 twist Pac nor. Thanks JP

  Definately get the LFN with this heavy weight.  It needs the more form stable ogive for top accuracy.  I wouldn't reccomend the WFN unless driving it at good speed and with bullet weights 450 gr and less in 45 caliber.
