I also think that is why all the .562 are in the bargain bin. There just is no market for them. But for $15.00 I figured what the heck.
No... I don't think you imagined anything Dave, I'm almost certain they made a .570 mold at one time. Seems as though I was going to purchase one but changed my mind because I only owned one .58 rifle at the time and it's not my "go to" gun being an inline. Lyman molds are very good molds but I don't want to throw down $75 just for a single cavity set of blocks.
I'm sure LEE has marketing reps like any other company that's been around as long as they have. You would think one of them would have brought it to their attention that the .570 is much more widely used than a .562, or .575
