I understand there are some very active BPCR clubs in Texas, so you should have no trouble finding matches when you are ready to make the jump. It sure adds a whole new dimension to all of it. You'll have a lot of fun.

Another very good Lyman mold is their new Postel. I forget the number, but it might be 457132. My Jones Creedmoor is virtually identical to it. It actually goes all the way back to the original Sharps 550g tapered paper patch bullet; the original Lyman Postel was meant to duplicate it in a grease-groove design. Their original Postel tapered right off the front driving band and had no bore-riding section to the nose at all. The first generation Jones Creedmoor copied this. Back in the early '90's when I talked to Jones about cutting a mold for me, I asked him to include a .200" non-tapered section in front of that driving band at bore diameter (.449"-.450"). It worked great for me, and soon quite a few folks around here were ordering them that way. It is interesting to see that when Lyman re-introduced their Postel after about a 40 year absence they copied this and provided a similar bore-riding section. Anyway, it's a great bullet, and seems to drift a good bit less in the wind at long range than the round nose 457125. You can't beat it for an off-the-shelf mold.
