As far as I know Lee only makes a trash can in 575; it might cast larger but not 578.
I have a .584 and .578 Lee mold already, but I'd like a new .578 mold, this one has cast many, many rounds. Just feel that a new one is in order.
Lee made these at one point, just not currently.
Midway used to have these. They don 't have one listed now but a teammate got them to make a special order from Lee. He agreed to purchase a certain number and they kept a few they put on their site. They didn't last very long as I remember.
Maybe you can work the same deal.

A couple of years ago, I found myself in your spot. I logged many a hour surfing the web looking for a supplier that carried a .578 Lee Trash Can.
I finally contacted Lee, and learned that this size had been discontinued. However, the folks at Lee would run a "custom" order for this size.
Sorry, I don't remember the price they quoted me, but I now use a Rapine Trash Can and size it down.

I think I bought my last one from Lodgewood, I'll drop them a line and see if they might have another.
What about the Rapine mold's, who might have one of them?
I have a minnie ball mold with handle. Made or sold by someone upstate N.Y., I think. Bought sometime ago. Side marked 582315. It has a center cone. is it is a 582 dia (58 cal.) Minnie Ball single cavity.Originally Posted by stuffy25thia

I also bought a couple of the .578s from midway a few years back and they were the only people having any listed. Both cast about .576
If you want to use a ashcan bigger than .575 your only choice is the Rapine.
I know they cost 4 times as much but will last 4 times as long at least
If shooting,fixing,making and thunking were easy.Everyone would be doing it.
