WANTED RCBS Hogden .576 minie mold

[aussie pete]

Hi Team

I've done a thorough search here in Australia to no avail. I'm wondering if anyone has an RCBS .576 Minie mold that they would like to sell on. I'd like to try this projectile in my Parker Hales - Two band and Three band.

Cheers, Pete

Hi Pete.

I think the RCBS Hodgdon mold is only available in .580. You might need a sizing die to go along with it.

My 580 Hodgdon drops them out of the mold at .583. They get run through a .581 sizer to achieve the correct diameter for my rifle.

I get my sizing dies from Northeast Trade Co. They offer a .576 sizer. They also offer a taller base pin for the RCBS Hodgdon mold. This makes the skirt thinner, so you can use a lower powder charge for short range target work.

Good luck with your search, hope this helps.

Thanks @Dusty_Traveler. I have seen them advertised at .576; good information from you though; I'll chase that up. I might get lucky here, or beyond . I do have a size 576 sizing die.
