I might as well start looking or this mould as it may be hard to find.   

Thanks

I haven’t lost all my marbles yet but there is definitely a hole in the bag somewhere.

Jack, that mold was furnished in 7 different weights from 90 to 175 grains. What weight were you looking for?

I've got several 7mm molds. I'll take a look.

What are you going to shoot it in?

Well that explains why the one GT has is quite a bit heavier than the one listed on eBay that weighs 135 gr.  I am going to use it in a RKS gain twist barrel that ends at 9.5.  The longer the better. I have been using a 145 gr MOS bullet. 

Thanks

Sorry, no 287221 but, I do have this RCBS 168 FN.

I or you, could make it into a PB, as shown.

That looks promising.  Let me test the bullets GT is sending me which are of a similar weight and I will get back to you.

Thanks
