jpsw,
I've got quite a few moulds, they seem to multiply. As far as the current commercial non-custom moulds go, I rate them like this.
Lyman-good
RCBS-Better
SAECO-Best.

The custom moulds are better from what I can tell. I'm waiting on a mould from Veral as we speak, and the NEI mould I have seems to be better than the three common commercial brands. One thing to keep in mind with Lyman is that they produce 4 cavity mould that are reasonably priced, RCBS limits you to 1 and 2 cavity moulds. I've got a half dozen SAECO 4 cavity moulds and have nothing other than good to say for them. Another nice thing with the SAECO is that all of their moulds 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 cavity, some of those would be customs, all use the same mould handles.

I ordered a .41 250WFN GC two cavity. I like the weight forward design of the WFN that maximizes powder capacity. I realize that you should have at least half the weight behind the crimp groove, and from what I can tell this design does that.

I've scanned the LBT brochure. I'll send it to the first 5 people who request it on this thread. You'll have to do it on this thread with your email address included. I can't send it through a private message. If you get it from me you can share it with others. I've zipped it into a single file that's about 1.2MB for easy downloading.

475/480,
I base that on the reccomendations that I was given while selecting the profiles for my jacketed bullet swaging dies. I'm not saying that it's the only way, just that it was the info I was given by Dave and Richard Corbin. When laying out that kind of cash for a dies, I want to make sure it's going to fly straight.

44,
you're correct. I misspoke on that.
