Which mold for Ruger #1 7x57 RSI

At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
I think someone else asked for recommendations on a 7x57 mould sometime in the past couple weeks. Might want to take a look back and see.\

Oh, and congrats to Mrs Thumbcocker. She has excellent taste!

I really like those rifles, if only they put a 22" barrel on them they'd be perfect.

Have ordered a 6 cavity soup can for it. We are planning a trip to Africa for plains game. She wants a Zebra rug. I think with copper bullets she will be fine.

Shooting a 7mm BR and 7mm-08, the best results were with the RCBS 7mm-168-SP. This bullet required throating to get the gas check up into the neck.

The RCBS 7mm-145-SIL and the SAECO #071 did not shoot was well in either rifle.
