The guy called "liquidorange" posted that he could get a mould for the "plains- bullet"
My reply was
"The lyman great plains bullet in not a good bullet. I make a lot of bullets for ML's and the Lyman is the bottom of the list for accuracy. Ron"
Since the Lyman is the only mould that is named "great Plains" I responded to the quality of the bullets made from that mould. Hornady great plains bullets are swagged, and there is no mould for them.

YOU then posted that "Maybe you weren't molding them right."
My reply was that in fact the Hornady is a very good bullet, The lyman was crap, and since you called in to question my skills making bullets that yes I do make bullets that are accurate, and maybe someone that sees this post might think twice about getting a Lyman mould and think a little more about the 500 S&W mould since it does shoot good. I also posted info about my rifle and twist so if someone had a similar twist they would know the 500S&W bullet does indeed work.

In your reply you quoted me. You said " I suppose if you're using a RB twist, the long bullet would probably not stabilize well and show accuracy problems, but in a 1:28" or faster twist, they are great. They hit hard too."
My post cleared that up as well, I used the right twist.

I assumed that the Lyman mould was a copy of the Hornady design. Since it's not, and more importantly, since you knew it's not, why did you post regarding the accuracy of a different bullet?
