Look what Lee has started offering as a standard item (Titan has them in stock).

I haven't ordered one yet, After I ordered all the different 6.5 molds that NOE offered years ago and found one my custom T-38 liked (146gr RN clone of 268469 Loverin), I doubt I will order the Lee...but it's tempting...although I had a NOE with similar long nose design and my rifle didn't like it.
This Lee is probably the cat's meow for a new American made bolt action rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor...or a 260 Rem.

I've dabbled in loading cast in a 6.5 Creedmoor, most of the molds I have tried don't really allow for seating with the bullet base in the neck. Maybe this one is designed to do that. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for posting the information about Lee Precision. I tried to find them through the summer of 2022, but could not using Google Search, and Firefox. I will search again. Haven't done any casting last year it was either too hot or too cold in my barn. I enjoy reading this site and several others and am pleased my account still works. Though I filled my Lee 20 pound pot with lead, it still rusted badly this past winter. Central Indiana was cold, wet, snow and ice. If I can get a new one from Lee, I will buy it. Can't afford the products of other companies. Lee has worked very well for me since I started casting about a decade ago. Retired now, and pushing 80, would have continued working. There is a famous quote I have recently found out is true. "Old age is not for the faint of heart". I have gotten a lot of helpful information from Artful Bullet and enjoy reading the posts.
