    FS: Lee Sharps 545-510 Ringtail Mold

    Selling a Lee double cavity Sharps Ringtail bullet mold. This is the Lee copy of the old Rapine Ringtail bullet. 545-510. Only used a couple of times. $60. Pickup at Nationals. I will also be at the CV Recruit Skirmish this Saturday if anyone wants it then.

    Mould

    Does the base fit the Charlie Hahn tubes?

    No, it is too wide for those.

    I have used this bullet with the Hahn tubes. I press the nose end into the tube a little, like neck expanding for cast bullets in cartridge reloading. You have to experiment a little with the process and may ruin a few tubes. If done right you will have a nice tight fit and tubes won?t separate from bullet unless handled extremely rough. My ring/base measures .476ish.

    Just to confirm what Geezmo said, I use the same mold and have no issues with Hahn tubes - put this one together just now. Tight fit, no glue.

    Thanks for the info folks. Looks like they are a fit for the Hahn tubes.
