Just wondering where a guy might find a bullet mold for the 6.5 Swede. If anyone has any leads, let me know. Most likely looking for one of those Lee cruise missile molds. Apparently Midsouth Shooter Supplies usually has them but they're back ordered.

Point me in the right direction?:)
 
I'd keep an eye on the one at MidSouth and order it (or two) when they come in - that's a great price and a good mold for Swedish Mausers.

In the meantime, MidSouth (and some Canadian places) sell Lyman and RCBS molds in 6.5mm. The 140gr is a good one. Check with M.T. Chambers to see what they sell in a 6.5mm.
 
There is a 6.5 mm mold at Wholesale Sports in S'Toon right now, saw it the other day, but passed on it, I don't use the 6.5mm...bone appetite!!

Do you recall which brand/weight it was?? I was hoping to get one of the more "cost effective";) Lee molds. I don't think my old Swede would know the difference between a good bullet or not.
 
Try e-bay and I'd take an Ideal/Lyman or RCBS over a Lee/TC any day as I own all the above..........not a fan of aluminum..........Harold
 
The 6.5mm was behind the counter and I didn't fondle it, but I believe it was a Lyman, not sure of the number, don't be a cheapskate, you know you want it!!
 
swedish 6.5X55 bullet mold

You might wanna check www.castboolits.gunloads.com and ask the guys. They sometimes have group buys and this caliber is popular. I found a Lee 140 gr. on Ebay and you might wanna check them out; they often have molds that were made before and aren't around anymore.
Good luck.

Another member had pointed one out to me on ebay but the price went higher than I wanted to go. You the one that scooped the Lyman Ideal single mold last night?

Nope. Happy with mine (Lee 140 gr. bought on Ebay) and never really looked for another one.

I got Lyman #266673 D/cavity going to sell at the Kamloops show with .264 sizing die and gas checks, used once. You missed my mold sale;)
