Point taken, Vern.
And if Samual Colt had allowed other manufacturers to chamber for .45LC in 
the last century, there might be more gas-check molds for .45's and .44 
cartridge would have never been.  A friend spent all day in Houston searching 
for shells to bring out here.  Only found two short boxes on the shelves.  
I'm considering purchasing a mold now.  Would Lee be your first choice?
