WTB light .257 mould

I would like to find a .25 cal mould that casts a light bullet at .257-258” diameter. Something in the 60s to 75 grain.

Thanks

Jordan

When they were still making molds I got one of these that was flat base.

All they have is gas check now.  You could try them as they left the mold or have  someone ream the gas check portion out or shoot gas checks.  Charlie

Ballards may be weaker,

Lyman 257420 is 65 grain and still available if you don't find anything else.

I would prefer a non gas checked bullet. I did search for a Lyman but everything I found was out of stock no backorder which is a bad sign.

Accurate wont cut a mould that small of diameter otherwise I would have gone there first. Thank you for the suggestions.

This is a little heavier than you want, but I have a Lyman/ideal 257311 88 gr bullet mold you can have for $40 shipped.

The Lyman mold I posted shows available in stock thru Lyman. But it is a gas check bullet, so my bad.
