about a 50-57 grain bullet out of the Korean Sumatra 2500. Veral Smith (of all people) has produced some molds for them. So far I've not gotten any feed back from him via email. I'm starting to gravitate more and more towards the Sumatra. About 16 shots at good velocity with the heavy pellets, quarter sized groups at 70 yards. You can dial down the velocity or take it up to full power, it sounds very versatile. Now to see if I can thin the air gun herd here so that I'll have the $$$ necessary for the project. Kind of funny that I might end up with both a lever rifle and an LBT mold down here. The investigation goes on, but things are starting to take shape in my mind. Ranch Dog did a group buy on a 25 acp mold a while back, I wonder what the lube groove diameter might be on them and if they'd bear sizing down to .251 or .250. May have to drop him a note on that, it might be a cheaper route than the LBT, and Veral's not been too anxious to get back to me on it.
