Mark,
I have a LBT 370 LFN mold, which drops out at 390 with WW, and have crimped it in the first grease groove, giving me a nose to crimp length of .5", and a lot more powder capacity. I've tried some heavier bullets, from a buddy's 400, 410 and 420 HOCH molds, as well as his 330 SWC and 345 LFN-like GC HOCH molds, but not sure if I really need to go that heavy, so as to not lose controllability for the bush up here. But because I now have this 4 cavity 310 LFN mold, and a big red tin can of the old 2400, it will have to be the combination I will try and work with, for everyday shooting. The 370 LFN will be used for more packing, or if I get a chance at a moose hunt. Hopefully I can try some of Marshall's new 355 GC bullets, this coming Wed, Thurs or Fri. I do have a little Titegroup left, so we will see! Plus the info from Dan, gives even more excuses, to go play with the .480. Now it seems my just aquired 5 1/2" stainless bisley BHK, will be collecting dust?
Which NEI mold did you order? At last weeks gun show, our local caster had a 335 grain bullets, from a NEI mold. It has a huge meplat! It is cataloged with a 400+ grain weight(forgot the exact number), but he ordered it minus a band and groove, for the .480. I notice NEI has new in my 2001 catalog, a 355 LFN GC bullet. But after sizing and lubing the bunch of HOCH 345 GC bullets I picked up, I think I'll stick to plain base bullets, although I now am stuck with several hundred .475 gas checks?
